Introduction to Warpspawn Games Article by Tom Higgins ([email protected]), Main editor of Countermoves. There are many ways to game as there are gamers to play them. There are focused gamers who pick a theme and stick with it most of their lives. There are die hard role players, hard dice roll players and anti dice hard tech players. There are board game aficionados and card game fanatics. There are folks who like to move around the hexes and those who wont map the territory of their playing. Then there are those who like to mix it all up. Precious few resources exist for this type of gamer, one such resource though is Warp Spawn Games (http://www.angelfire.com/games2/warpspawn/index.html) Warp Spawn is home to a motley crew of game developers and players who revel in creating games as much as they do in playing them. The lead mad scientist in this laboratory of gamming is Lloyd Krassner who has been running this site since

1997. The site itself is spartan but what it lacks in graphics it makes up for in game rules. Lloyd and the Warp Spawn regulars have been churning out game rules at a break neck speed for the last few years, the count for 2001 is now over 200 and climbing. Game types range from your pure card game to your roll and move board games to hex game to role-playing to combinations of all of the above. There are lots of different types of game mechanics to choose from as well. The rule sets are broken into thematic sections; there are sections for SF, Fantasy, Historical and the infamous Other as well as a place of Universal Game Systems. More on this last one in another article. Each of these sections is further broken down by time period of subtype. Many of the rule sets you will find are mostly straight text files. Very few have any sort of graphics, maps or unit counters. These are left for others to work on. In some cases there are graphics available either as image files or as Thoth game sets. The big advantage to a Thoth game set in this case is that the individual graphical items are not hidden in the gamebox, they are available to be manipulated and customized in directories. The good news is that over time and with more people using Warp Spawn games the more ready-made graphics there are to play with. If you cant find these ready made gems for the rules set you are wanting to play then its up to you to create them and hopefully offer them up to the site so that others can use them as well. A lot of what goes on at Warp Spawn is centered on this act of causal collaboration and sharing. Sharing the games or variants you have created with the rest of the Warp Spawn crew gets the game played more and thus it becomes a better game for the playing. Play testing games is a powerful tool in the developmental cycle of a game. The act of making a game has become a game for the Warp Spawn game makers. Trying out combinations of types, tweaking rules sets, merging different mechanics and methods all are evident in the rules sets found here. You can get a glimpse of what goes on in one game developers mind on Llyod’s Brainstroming page. There is also an open channel of discussion between the users and developers. This comes in the form of a message board. It’s a simple text only web message board but it works to get the conversation and critiques flowing. A Review and Essays page gives players and developers alike a place to work out the workings of the games; the good, the bad and the ugly. Often what doesn’t work can be has helpful to making a better game as what does work. Hearing from the developer and the players is a great way to get a look into some of the games. The biggest strengths Warp Spawn has going for it is not its flashy graphics (there are none) or its professional publication ready games (these games are as raw as they come, rivaling even CheapAss Games) or even its detailed rule sets (some of these games are as abstracted from their source material as a Pollack canvas). What Warp Spawn has is a down in the muck attitude where the game comes before the detail and the developing is as much fun as the playing. It’s a schloberknocker no holds barred game development site that offers as wide a range of game styles as I have seen represented in any one place. It has a core group of members who are quick to help and very into the idea that everyone is a game developer just looking for a chance to come out and play.

ABRIDGED DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS Introduction In 1979 the Classic Dungeons and Dragons game gave birth to a new game called Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. AD&D was originally created to provide detailed universal rulings for use in D&D tournaments. As time went on Basic Dungeons and Dragons became simply a launching board for new players to orient themselves to the game before heading onto the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Rules (Usually after attaining third level with their first character). While the third edition of AD&D has reverted to the simple title of D&D, it is in essence still Advanced D&D. Present here is a reversion or devolution of the Original Dungeons and Dragons rules, which we call Abridged Dungeons and Dragons (AbD&D). In reality this is not a new or plagiarized game, but rather a simple compilation of the original 1969 Chainmail Fantasy Wargaming rules, with a role playing inspiration from the popular Risus RPG. Risus embodies the present trend to provide light game rules to role playing games, which is the goal of AbD&D.

Requirments You will need ordinary (six-sided) dice, paper, pencil, and miniatures.

Character Creation Identity Create a name, description and background for your fantasy character, or choose a character from one of an epic fantasy or sword and sorcery novel.

Class Choose one of the follow classes that fit your character

Hero/ Antihero: 4 dice Heroes include such characters as the ranger Strider from Lord of the Rings or Sir Bedeviere from La Mort d’Arthur. Perfect examples of an Anti-Hero would be Elric of Melnibone, and Fahred and the Grey Mouser of Lankhmar.

Wizard: 1 dice Wizards include such legends as

42

Gandalf the Istari of the Lord of the Rings and Merlin of La Mort d’Arthur. Fire Balls: Once per turn a Wizard can launch a fire ball at a target. The fire ball will destroy all creatures within a 40’ (4 Inch on Table Top) radius from the fireball’s chosen impact area. Characters may roll 18 or greater on their combined class dice to avoid the damage. Magic: When Wizards cast spells, they must roll two dice (adding the rolls together; 2d6) on the table below to determine the success of the spell.

Character Advancement When characters defeat an enemy during an adventure they get Points which accumulate allowing them to advance in dice (levels).

Skill Resolution When a character wishes to perform a feat, such as picking a pocket for a hobbit or Anti-Hero, or charming a Non-Player Character (NPC) for an elf (their magically beautiful), then a difficulty must be set, which the PC must roll over or above on a combined class dice roll. Difficulty targets 3 for very easy 6 for easy 9 for normal 12 for difficult 15 for very difficult 18 for improbably 21 for impossible

Combat A character (PC or NPC) can take as many hits during combat equal to their class dice (e.g., a four dice hero can take 4 successful hits) When two sides attack each other both roll a single die. The side with the highest roll attacks first. 1. Movement: Creatures on foot can move 60 feet (6 Inches). Mounted creatures and large creatures can move 120 feet (12 Inches) 2. Attack: The Attack Character rolls his Class Dice. For each six that is rolled on the individual dice, one hit is inflicted on the target. A creature reduced to 0 hit points is defeated. Example: Strider the Ranger attacks an orc. He is a 5 dice Hero. He rolls five dice: 3, 5, 6, 2 and 6. Strider inflicts two hits on the orc. The NPC class of Orc is a 2 dice class. Thus its hits points are reduced to 0, and it is defeated.

ADVANCED STAR FRONTIERS RPG LENSMAN SOLO CARD AND DICE GAME By C Gerard Luft

INTRODUCTION In the 198th year of the Galactic Federation (UPF 198fy), mankind attempted its first Intergalactic Voyage through Void Space. The Lensmen (adapted from Doc Smith's Lensman Space Opera) that now made up the upper echelons of Star Law, turned their mentalist talents to navigating ships along the superstrings (i.e., Slipstream of Roddenberry's Andromeda) of the Void's quantumspace continuum. The First Lensman Ranger made the Void Jump to Andromeda under half a minute. But that exploration would turn tragic. Mankind made first contact with the centaur like beings of Andromeda, known as the Morad* (which look suspiciously like the Vedran of Roddenberry's Andromeda; conveniently, the fall of the Systems Commonwealth, according to the official Andromeda TimeLine, lines up exactly with the formation of the Asimov/ Traveler Galactic Empire (AKA Third Imperium), which is a personal constant in all of my milieus [obviously the Commonwealth's fall resulted in mankind loosing its Void space intergalactic capabilities, and returning to a Hyperspace based pangalactic drive, as we see in the Foundation series and Traveler]). The first contact with the Morad's intergalactic High Guard was less than desirable. Soon mankind found itself alienated by its non-human companions of the Federation, and embroiled in its first intergalactic war. Since the Morad's Commonwealth had millennia of experience with intergalactic conquest, mankind had to turn to their only hope to win this war with the Second Galaxy: the Lensmen! While the Gray Lensmen scoured the Galaxy for spies, ships and infiltrators from the Second Galaxy, the Lensman Rangers piloted their Assault Scouts to the Second Galaxy in order to undertake espionage missions to bring down enemy bases and perform swift guerrilla tactics against Morad ships in its own Galaxy. In this game you play a Lensman Ranger with his intergalactic assault scout ship. You must use your Lensman Powers to undermine enemy bases while battling any Morad ships that you encounter.

SET UP You will need the card deck (given below) and 2 ten sided dice, that will be used together as 1D% (for those of you who are new to STAR FRONTIERS and other D% Games, roll one die to generate the 10's number and 1 die to generate the 1's number, with a roll of 0 and 0 being 100%). You begin the game with your Lensman Ranger and Assault Scoutship on the table.

THE OBJECT OF THE GAME When you have successfully infiltrated and brought down all four Morad quadrant bases in the Second Galaxy, you win.

51

THE GAME After emerging from the Void's Slipstream into the Andromeda Galaxy, draw one card. If it is a ship card you will need to battle it.

STARSHIP COMBAT TURN 1. Because of your Lensman mentalist skills, you can be prepared for the intruder before even exiting Void Space. So your Assault Ship attacks first each turn. Roll a 1D% for each weapon. If the roll is equal to or less then your Assault Scoutship's POWER, then you hit with that weapon. If you hit, subtract the damage from the opponent's hull points. If the ship is reduced to 0 or less Hull Points, it is defeated, and you make another jump, drawing another card. 2. If the enemy ship is not destroyed, then it gets to fire. To simulate your Ranger's Lensman powers affecting the opponent ship's crew, first make a 1D% roll for each of the shots they can take. If you roll equal to or under your Ranger's POWER then you may subtract your POWER from the opponents chance to hit for those weapons you make a successful POWER roll on. In Doc Smith's Second Stage Lensmen, he goes into beautiful detail how a group of Lensmen can even affect the outcome of a fleet battle! 3. After ascertaining all adjustments to the enemy ship, its time to roll for them. If they hit, then they inflict the listed damage to your hull point score. If you are destroyed, then the game is over. 4. If at the end of the battle you survive, but your ship is damaged, the new stat-of-the-art self repair system will repair your ship to full Hull Points by the time you exit Void space again for your next encounter.

QUADRENT BASE INFILTRATION RESOLUTION When you draw a BASE CARD, you must roll equal to or under your Ranger's POWER in order to effectively disable its operation. If you fail, draw one card from the Deck to combat. If you defeat this ship, then you can try again to infiltrate the base, but with a cumulative 20% penalty for each succeeding failure. If you draw a BASE CARD when drawing for failure response, then you have mistakenly found a connection to the next base via a Hyperspace Tunnel (while Hyperspace does not compare to Voidspace for Intergalactic Travel, it sure makes great mini-wormholes permanently connecting two points in the same Galaxy [it can still attempt to cross the Intergalactic Void, but it sure gets messy then; again, read Second Stage Lensmen) CARD NAME # Power Hull Attks Dam

THE PIECES 10 sided dice are needed. Use pawns or figures to represent characters.

THE DECKS There are 4 decks: The Character Deck The Spell Deck The Encounter (Fate) Deck The Map Deck

ENCOUNTER DECK There are 5 types of cards in the Encounter Deck: Foe Cards Adventure Cards Item Cards Companion Cards Event Cards

VICTORY The first character to accumulate 5 Adventure cards is the winner.

58

CHARACTERS Each character has 2 attributes: - Life - Strength All Characters start with 4 Life points. Each Character will also have one or more Special Abilities. Some Characters can cast Spells.

SETUP Every player picks one character card at random. Roll high on 1D10 to see who goes first. Players start with no cards.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 5 phases: 1. Fate Phase 2. Spell Phase 3. Move Phase 4. Encounter Phase 5. Adventure Phase

FATE PHASE Draw one card from the Encounter Deck and put it in your hand. If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it. Max (Fate) hand size is 7 cards. Discard excess cards. You may place a Foe card from your hand into any empty space. The Foe card must match the type of space you entered. For example: A water type Foe may defend a water type space.

SPELL PHASE If you are able to cast spells, draw 1 card from the spell deck. Keep a separate (from your encounter cards) hand for your spell deck. You can have a maximum number of spells equal to your Magic score divided by two rounded down. Discard excess cards. If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it.

MOVE PHASE You may move your character to an adjacent space on the map. If you have a steed card in play, you may move an additional space. You may choose to not move and rest instead. If you rest, roll 1D10 (Heal Roll). On a roll of 7-10 you gain one life. You cannot gain lives in excess of your starting life score.

ENCOUNTER PHASE Every time you enter a new space an opponent may play a Foe card to stop you. The player to your right gets first chance to play a Foe card and so on.

Any character that enters the space must battle the Foe in his Encounter Phase.

ADVENTURE PHASE If you are in the {appropriate space} and no Foes or opposing characters occupy the Space, you may play an Adventure card. Each Adventure card presents a Strength contest that must be overcome. If you win the Strength contest you ‘complete’ the Adventure. Make a separate pile for all of your completed Adventure cards. If you fail discard the Adventure card and lose one life. If you moved at least one space and did not play an Adventure card this turn, you may attach one Item or Companion card to your Character. (The card is placed next to your Character card)

DEATH A Character reduced to zero life points is killed. Discard the character card and all his items, companions, and spells. Draw a new character and play with it.

SPELL CASTING When you use a spell card it goes to the discard pile.

EXPERIENCE For every 10 points worth of Foes you defeat, gain one point of Strength or Life. Use colored tokens placed on the character to indicate the added points. Blue for Life, Red for Strength.

CHARACTER DUELS If you land on an opposing character, and there are no Foes present, you may Fight him on a roll of 7-10 on 1D10 (The Tracking Roll- to find opponent) The winner of the contest takes one Item card from the loser or causes the loser to lose one life point.

ITEMS You can only use one Weapon at a time. You can only have one Steed in play at a time. If you travel on a steed or fly you must leave behind companions that could not concievably keep up.

FAQ's 1) You draw spell card(s) in the Spell Card Phase. When can you cast? --You can cast them whenever it seems appropriate. 2) You can only be attacked by 1 Foe or Character in your Encounter Phase. Understand this to mean there is only 1 Foe card allowed on a space at a time. But, you won't get attacked by another Character until the latter's phase so couldn't you always encounter a foe, finish your turn, then get attacked in the next player's turn? --Yes thats how it works (but I'm open to suggestions). 3) An Adventure can be played after defeating a Foe? --Yes. 5) Last instruction about Adventures is that "If moved and did not play an Adventure card this turn. . ." Is this the only way/time you can acquire an item or companion from out of your own hand to put next to your character card? --Yes. (This is a rule that could easily be changed)

ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND

INTRODUCTION Card game for 2+ players. Based on the book “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” by Lewis Carroll.

VICTORY Wake up your opponents by increasing their Insanity Totals to 19+.

INSANITY POINTS Each player has a starting Insanity total of zero.

THE DECK Players share a common deck. The deck contains 4 types of cards: Character Cards Location Cards Action Cards Modifier Cards

70

SETUP All players are dealt a hand of 7 cards. The cleverest player goes first.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 6 phases: Untwist Phase Draw Phase Story Phase Play Phase Insanity Phase End Phase

UNTWIST PHASE All cards that are twisted sideways are twisted right side up.

DRAW PHASE Draw one card. If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard & draw from it.

STORY PHASE You automatically get 1 Free Story Point (SP) You may Twist your land cards sideways to generate 1 additional SP each.

PLAY PHASE You may put Location, Character, and Modifier cards into play. These cards are put face up on the table in front of you. Location, Character, and Modifier cards stay in play until Some other rule or card causes them to be discarded. Character and some Modifier cards require the spending of Story Points (their cost) to put them in play. Modifier cards are attached to Character cards.

INSANITY PHASE Twist your Character cards sideways to have them “Attack” a target player. Each unblocked character causes that player to gain insanity points equal to The Insanity Level of the attacking Character. The targeted opponent may block your attackers with his untwisted characters. Attacker & Blocker compare Insanity Levels. The lower level of the two is discarded. If equal, both are discarded. Two or more characters may combine to block a single attacker. Discard combined characters with a combined level equal to the level of the attacker.

END PHASE Max hand size is 7 cards. Discard excess cards. Story points not spent are lost.

71

ACTION CARDS Play action cards whenever appropriate. Action cards are discarded after being played.

AGEA INTRODUCTION Card Game. Greek Heroes undertake adventures of Mythic proportions. Players accumulate Heroes, City States, Relics, and great Victories over legendary monsters with the aid of the Gods.

THE CARDS To play you will have to make your own cards. There are 129 cards in the deck. Use unlined colored index cards. One side should be blank or have the name Agea written on it. The other side should include: Name of the card. For example: Sphinx Card Type. For example: Event; or Non-Monster Foe; or Non-Foe Challenge All information in the card description.

|_______________________| SETUP Flip coins or roll dice to determine turn order. Turn order remains the same for the rest of the game. Shuffle the deck. Players cut the deck until each has one hero. Players put their hero face up on the table "in play". Players start the game with no cards in their hands.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. There are 3 phases in a turn: 1. Recovery Phase 2. Draw Phase 3. Adventure Phases

RECOVERY PHASE Remove 1 Delay Token from all of your Heroes that have them. Use coins, dice, or whatever for Delay Tokens. Maximum hand size = 7 Cards. Discard down to maximum hand size.

DRAW PHASE Draw 1 Card. Whenever a card is drawn show it to all players. If it is a Challenge card discard it into the discard pile. If it is a City State or Hero place it face up in front of you. You now control the Card, but it is not part of your hand. If you draw a Relic or Companion, either attach it to a Hero or keep it in your hand to be attached at any later time. Attached cards are placed partially under the Hero card with their names showing. If it is an Event Card play it or keep it, unless the card instructs you to play it immediately. Event cards are discarded as soon as their effect is resolved. Play Event cards whenever it is appropriate.

ADVENTURE PHASE Each of your heroes that does not have delay counter(s) may, in any order, draw a card (Go adventuring). All Heroes adventure separately. Play City States, Heroes, and Events as in Draw Phase. Any Relics or Companions found must be attached to that Hero only. If a Hero draws a Challenge card the hero is tested: If the Hero has the trait listed on the Challenge card the Hero is victorious and the Challenge card is placed in that players Victory Pile. Relics & Companions lend their traits to their Hero owner. Event cards, like Blessings, can also give Heroes extra traits. If the Hero does not have the trait, then the Hero is defeated. Put 1D6 (1 die roll) Delay tokens on the Defeated Hero and discard the Challenge. If you roll a 6 the hero and all his posessions are discarded. (A Greek Tragedy)

94

If the Challenge card contained the word 'destroyer' in its description then that player must also discard a City State. Sample Challenges: 1. Hercules encounters the Hydra. Hercules has the trait 'Strength' and the Hydra is a test of strength or wit, so Hercules is victorious. 2. Argo meets the Hydra. Argo has neither strength nor wit, so he is defeated and gets 1D6 delay tokens. 3. Ajax has the relic 'Blade of Hephaestus' which gives him the trait of 'War'. He encounters the Centaurs and defeats them. 4. Theseus draws 'Lost at Sea'. He plays the event 'Blessing of Poseidon' giving him the navigation trait. He overcomes the challenge. Note: a hero with the Demigod trait will automatically overcome any challenge on a roll of 1-2 on 1D6.

WARS There are 4 Event cards that start wars. All players add up the number of Heroes and City states they control, plus all of the War and Army traits they can muster. Do not count delayed Heroes. Each player adds 1D6 to their sum. The sum is called the Battle Total. The player with the highest Battle Total is the winner. The winner may take a City State away from one of the losers. The winner puts the War event card in his Victory pile.

ENDING THE GAME The game ends when the last card is drawn from the deck.

VICTORY The player with the most accumulated victory points (VP) at the end of the game is the winner. Gain VP in the following manner: Accomplishment VP Awarded Per Hero you control 1 Per City State you control 1 Per Relic owned 1 Per War won 4 Per Blessing in your final Hand 1 Per Challenge in your Victory Pile 1 Some cards will contribute more VP according to their card description.

MANEUVER PHASE Players place their hands face up with their other face up cards. The player with the most points worth of maneuver cards becomes the attacker. The other player is the defender. If it is a tie, the turn ends. Initiative cards may be used as Maneuver cards in the first turn of a game. After the first turn, Initiative cards are useless.

99

If a player has two or more planes remaining, he may use Team cards as Maneuver cards.

ATTACK PHASE If the attacker has more Attack card points than the defender has Defense card points the attacker scores a hit. Otherwise it is a miss.

KILL PHASE If the attacker scored a hit and he played at least one Kill card, one enemy plane is destroyed. If you win the game, add up the scores on all the Kill cards you used to kill enemy planes to get a final “Score”.

PILOT CARDS Pilot cards If they are cards. If they are attacker or

are wild cards: in the initial 5 dealt face up in tactics phase, they count as Maneuver played from the hand, they are attack cards if you are the defense cards if you are the defender.

AIR FARE INTRODUCTION 2-6 player Bidding Card Game. Players control airlines.

OBJECT Have the most money at the end of the game. Add to your bank account the base cost of all of your planes and landing rights minus any loans.

THE DECK There are 110 cards in the deck. There are 3 types of cards: Planes, Landing Rights, and Events. Landing Rights cards are also called Terminals.

OTHER MATERIALS Calculators and pen & paper are needed. Alternatively, use play money to represent profits. A 10 sided die is also needed (1D10).

SETUP Each player starts with: $50 (50 Million dollars). One Boeing 737 or one McDonnell Douglas DC-9. Landing rights to two Minor Airports. Remove the Plane and Landing Rights cards from the deck.

TURN SEQUENCE Maintenance Phase Draw Phase Flying Phase Revenue Phase Bid Phase End Phase

MAINTENANCE PHASE Each players rolls 1D10 for each of his planes. Very old planes are grounded on a roll of 1-3. Old planes are grounded on a roll of 1-2. New planes are grounded on a roll of 1.

DRAW PHASE All players draw one card. The cards are placed face up on the center of the table.

104

This is known as the Bidding Pool. If there are no cards left in the deck, the game is over.

FLYING PHASE Remove all of your planes from their current terminals. Move (Fly) all non-grounded planes to a different terminal in a different city. Planes with a "US" range cannot fly to Europe. Flights connecting to Europe must originate or end in New York, Atlanta, Miami, Boston, or Washington DC. Place plane cards face up onto your terminal cards. Your planes can only fly to terminals you control. Certain Events may prevent flights into or out of specific cities. The Concorde can only be used to fly between New York and Europe.

REVENUE PHASE When a plane lands, you get an amount of money that depends on the number of landing rights, at that city, you control. Each Minor airport terminal gives a revenue of $10, no matter how many you control. At major Hubs, each landing will generate progressively more revenue, according to the table built into the Landing Rights card list. For example: The first plane you land at Miami International gives $20. The second plane you land earns $40. If you control all 4 landing rights, the fourth plane you land produces $90. Certain types of planes will increase or decrease the revenue generated by their flight. Money can be saved from turn to turn in your "Bank account". Pay interest on loans. If you cannot pay, you go bankrupt and lose the game.

BID PHASE Event Cards are discarded. Players may bid on some, none, or all of the plane cards and landing rights cards in the Bidding Pool. Bids are written down in secret and are revealed simultaneously. You cannot bid more money than you have in your account. Planes and Landing rights have Base costs as given in the card lists. A Bid cannot be for less than the Base Cost. The player that bid the most for a card gets control of it. That player keeps the card and subtracts the bid amount from his Bank account. If you lose a Bid you do not lose the money you bid. If a bid is a tie, all players lose the bid, and the card remains in the pool for next turn. Discard any cards no one bid on.

END PHASE Place the cards you won in bidding face up in front of you. They can start being used to generate income next turn. You may have more planes than landing rights and vise-a-versa.

RAISE MONEY FAST You may at any time sell your planes and landing rights to neutral third parties. Discard the card and gain money equal to the cards base cost. You can take a maximum bank loan of up to $100 at an interest payment of 20% per turn. Players can also sell cards to each other, or make loans to each other.

PRICE WAR OPTIONAL RULE During Maintenance phase each player may pick one or more cities that they have landing rights at.

106

These cities generate no income this turn.

ADVERTISING PHASE OPTIONAL RULE Insert this optional phase in between the Flying and Revenue Phases. Players secretly write down how much money they are spending on advertising for each of the cities they have landing rights at. If you spent more than an opponent you get to take 10% of his revenue from that city. If you spent twice as much as an opponent you get to take 1D10 X 10% of his revenue from that city. Unlike lost bids, all money spent on advertising is gone. Example: 4 players (A,B,C,D) have rights at the same city. Player A spends $0 on advertising and promotions. B spends $3. C spends $5. D spends $10. B rolls 1D10 X 10 and gets 50. B gets 50% of A's revenue. C gets 10% of B's income and 1D10 X 10% of A's remaining income. D gets 1D10 X 10% of the remaining profits of A, B, and C.

FASTER GAME VARIANTS For a quicker game remove 10-40 nonevent cards from the deck. Or, remove all the Boeing 757s, McDonnell Douglas MD-80s, Atlanta rights and Washington DC rights.

107

ALAMO INTRODUCTION Card game. Simulates the siege of the Alamo in 1836.

CARDS Players will have to make their own sets of cards. The Texians and Mexicans have their own unique decks. On the Deck lists, # = number of that card in the deck. Notice that most cards have a force value.

SET UP Shuffle both decks. The Texian player draws 4 cards. The Mexican player draws 4 cards.

TURN SEQUENCE The turn is divided into 4 phases: Draw Phase Bombardment Phase Discard Phase Mexican Attack Phase

DRAW PHASE Both players draw 1 card from their respective decks.

BOMBARDMENT PHASE Players may discard 1 or more Artillery cards. The recipient must discard the top card of their deck, or cards from their hands with a combined Force equal or greater than that of the Artillery card.

DISCARD PHASE If the Mexican player has more than 7 cards he must discard the excess. If the Texian player has more than 7 cards he must shuffle the excess into his deck.

MEXICAN ATTACK PHASE The Mexican player may decide not to attack. If so, the turn ends. To attack the Mexican player places cards from his hand to the table. The Mexican must attack with at least one Leader or Reserve card. The Mexican player may play up to 1 equipment card, 1 tactics card, 1 Artillery card, 1 Leader card, 2 Reserve cards, and any number of non-reserve Troop cards. Troop cards get a bonus of +10 Force, if they are played with their matching Leader.

108

Add up the force value of all of these cards and multiply by 2 if a Breach card is used. This number is the Total Mexican Force Value. The Texians may defend by playing cards to the table. The Texian player may play up to 2 equipment cards, 1 tactics card, 2 Artillery cards, 1 Leader card, 1 morale card, 1 standing defense, and any number of Troop cards. Add up the force value of all of these cards and multiply by 2 if a Texian Fire card is used. This number is the Total Texian Force Value. Compare the Total Force Values of Both Sides. The winner is the higher total. If tied, both players discard all their cards played. The winner shuffles the surviving cards into his deck. The loser discards all cards played. The loser must discard cards from his hand or drawn from the top of his deck with a combined Force value equal to or greater than the difference between the Total values. Doubler cards are considered to be Force = 50 for this purpose. The winner may keep played cards with a combined Force value equal to or less than the difference between the Total values.

MEXICAN VICTORY If the Texian player goes to draw a card and there are no cards left in his deck, than the Mexicans are able to take the Fortress with fewer casualties than they did in historical fact.

TEXIAN VICTORY If the Mexican player goes to draw a card and there are no cards left in his deck, than the Mexicans take more casualties than historical fact.

ALIEN EMPIRES- OLD RULES INTRODUCTION Players form alliances of many alien races in order to outwit their opponents.

OBJECT Control 20 of the worlds on the map.

EQUIPMENT Some 10 sided dice are needed. Players may want paper and pencil to keep notes.

THE MAP The map is a 10x10 grid. Spaces must be large enough to allow several stacks of chits to be placed therein.

CARDS The deck contains both Force cards and Event cards mixed together. See the card list.

CHITS 26 Blue Planet (World) chits (tokens, markers) marked from A to Z. 20 White population chits for each world: A1, A2,…A20; Z1, Z2,…Z20 1 Pink Identification Chit for each alien race: See the Alien Race list. Alien race chits have the name of the race written on them. 1 Set of 50+ control marker chits for each player. Each player has a unique color.

MAP SETUP Distribute the planet chits randomly onto the map. Roll 2D10 to determine the X and Y coordinates of each planet. Two planets cannot occupy the same space. At the end, every planet must be within 3 hexes of another planet. If not, reroll its coordinates.

PLAYER SETUP Each player takes a set of control markers. All players roll 1D10. Reroll ties. The highest roll places a control marker next to any one world chit. The next highest roll picks a different homeworld, and so on. Each player draws 4 Alien race chits, and selects one to be their starting race. The other 3 are discarded. The Alien Race identification chit is placed next to the world chit. Place one population token under your control marker chit.

111

The population marker must have the same letter identification as the planet marker. Players start with 5 cards.

WORLDS & ALIEN RACES Every world is the home of one alien race. This is the native race. The race is determined when the planet is first explored by drawing a race identity chit. Population chits produced by that world are always that of the native race.

ROUNDS, TURNS, & PHASES Players take turns. Turn order is the reverse order of that determined in player setup. The time it takes for all players to take a turn is called a round. The player whose turn it currently is, is known as the active player. Turns are divided into phases.

TURN SEQUENCE Opportunity Phase Fate Phase Genesis Phase Migration Phase Conflict Phase

OPPORTUNITY PHASE Certain cards and race abilities will allow actions during this phase.

FATE PHASE The active player may draw 3 cards. Discard down to 7 cards.

GENESIS PHASE Each planet controlled by the active player gains 1 population token of the native race.

MIGRATION PHASE Active player only. All of your population markers may move once per turn. A population marker you control may be moved to a world that is within 3 spaces. All of your population tokens on a world must be stacked under one of your control markers. If you place your tokens onto an unexplored world place a control marker on that world and draw a Alien race identification chit for it. If you move your tokens onto a world controlled by another player, you have colonized that planet, but you don't control it. The player that controls the planet should put a second control marker on his stack to indicate this. You still control a world if you move all your tokens off it, and no other player has populations there. If they do, and you leave, the player with the most populations there gains

112

control. If you are the only player with population tokens on a world, you gain control of it.

CONFLICT PHASE All conflicts in this phase must involve the active player. The active player decides the order in which conflicts are resolved. Only one conflict per world per turn. If two players occupy a world and at least one of them wants to attack the other, there will be a conflict. The attacker and defender are known as the primary players. If both want to be the attacker the active player gets to the attacker. Other players with tokens on that world may add tokens to the attacker or defenders stack, if the primary player allows it. These are ally tokens. The defender draws one card. Players simultaneously reveal one force card, if they have one. Each population token is worth 1 point of force. Each side adds up its force total = population tokens in stack + force card value + other race & card effects. The side with the highest force total wins. The other stack is destroyed. If the attacker wins, he gains control of the planet. Allied tokens of the winner get to remain on the planet. There are many Event cards and racial abilities that can affect the outcome of these conflicts. Normally, only population tokens in the conflicting stacks can use their racial abilities. If your opponent loses all his tokens before the Force calculation is made, you get control of the planet. Winning Allies get to draw a card.

ALIEN RACE LIST A = All tokens of that race may use this ability during the turn. 1/C = Once per Conflict. One or more tokens of that race must be present at that conflict. 1/T = Once per turn. At least one member of this race must be on the board to use this ability. 1/W = Once per turn per World. One or more Tokens of that race must be on the target world. 1/B = Same as Both 1/C and 1/T. W = Property of that races' world. R = You get this ability as long as you control one token of that race. Sacrifice = Discard that token. Retreat = Move tokens to a friendly world within 3 spaces. Race Name Use Special Ability Tachyons A They can move twice in Migration Phase The Hive W Their world produces 3 population tokens in Genesis Phase Symbionts A They are worth 2 Force each Travelers A Move range = 5 in Migration Phase Assassins 1/T Kill one population token anywhere in Opportunity Phase Fanatics A Sacrifice to kill one token within 3 spaces in Opportunity Phase Berserkers A Sacrifice to generate 5 Force during Conflict Space Vampires A Sacrifice a friendly token for +3 Force during Conflict Aggressors A +2 Force when attacking Passive Aggressives A +2 Force when defending Jinxers A One opposing token is Force -2 Reductionists 1/C All opposing tokens have a Force =0 Limitators 1/C Opponent must discard 1 card at start of conflict

Each player plays 3 Race cards from his hand face up onto the table. These are the Abilities, Traits or Powers that this player will have for the remainder of the game. These Race cards are called the Racial Destiny Cards. Players may discard Race cards with conflicting rules. If a player does not have 3 Race cards, he may draw cards until he does. Players discard down to 10 cards.

ROUNDS, TURNS, & PHASES Players take turns. Turn order is the reverse order of that determined in player setup. The time it takes for all players to take a turn is called a round. The player whose turn it is currently is known as the active player.

118

Turns are divided into 4 phases:

TURN SEQUENCE 1. 2. 3. 4.

Fate Phase Genesis Phase Migration Phase Conflict Phase

FATE PHASE The active player may draw 5 cards. Discard down to 10 cards.

GENESIS PHASE Each planet colonized by the active player gains 1 token.

MIGRATION PHASE Active player only. All of your markers may move once per turn. Markers may move 2 spaces. Any world you have tokens on is considered to be colonized.

CONFLICT PHASE All conflicts in this phase must involve the active player. The active player decides the order in which conflicts are resolved. Only one conflict is allowed per space per turn. The active player may initiate a maximum of 3 conflicts this phase. The attacker and defender are known as the primary players. Tokens in the same space and adjacent spaces may participate. Other players with tokens in those spaces may add tokens to the attacker or defenders side, if the primary player allows it. These are ally tokens. The defender draws one card. Primary players take turns playing race cards and event cards that can affect The outcome of the conflict. Players simultaneously reveal one or more force cards, if they have any. Each token is worth 1 point of force. Each side adds up its force total = population tokens in stack + force card value + other race & card effects. The side with the highest force total wins. Losing tokens are destroyed. All played cards are discarded. Players allied to the winning side get to draw a card.

ALIENS INTRODUCTION Colonial Marines versus Aliens.

DECKS One player uses the Marine Deck. The other player uses the Alien Deck. Each deck has 36 cards. Each deck has 3 suites and 12 cards in each suite. The 3 suites are: Combatants, Weapons, and Tactics. Each card has a Force Value from 1 to 5.

TURN SEQUENCE Each turn has 5 phases: Logistics Phase Deployment Phase Contact Phase Combat Phase Casualty Phase

LOGISTICS PHASE Each player draws 6 cards from his own Deck. If the deck runs out, shuffle the Reserve pile and draw from it. If all of a player’s cards are in his Casualty pile except for those in his hand, he must discard one random card to his Casualty pile. (This is the Last Hand Attrition rule.)

DEPLOYMENT PHASE Each player may discard up to 4 cards to their Reserve pile and draw replacement cards. If the deck runs out, shuffle the Reserve pile and draw from it.

CONTACT PHASE Both players reveal their hands. They place their cards face up on the table.

COMBAT PHASE Each player determines their Combat Force Total (CFT) for their hand: Add up the Force Values of all Combatant cards and add 1. This is the Combatant Total (CT). Add up the Force Values of all Weapon cards and add 1. This is the Weapon Total (WT). Add up the Force Values of all Tactics cards and add 1. This is the Tactics Total (TT). CFT = CT x WT x TT

129

CASUALTY PHASE The side with the higher CFT wins the encounter. The winner discards his hand to his Reserve pile. The loser discards his cards to his Casualty pile. (Not his Reserve pile) If the players tie, both hands go to the Casualty pile.

OBJECT A player loses when all of his cards are in his Casualty pile. The other player wins the game.

ALTERNATE RULES FOR BLOODWARS COLLECTIBLE CARD GAME TSR

OBJECTIVE Rules for common Deck play. One of the first CCGs out there, it was quickly forgotten, but the art and background material is good stuff. A common deck adds more variety to the game and reduces the abuses of the power cards.

COMMON DECK CONSTRUCTION Take all the cards and shuffle them together in a common deck. Only one of each unique card in the deck. Consider all warlord, artifact, and battlefield cards to be unique. Add other cards in numbers to suit your tastes. Players keep their own discard and dead book piles.

GAMEPLAY No further modifications to the rules.

146

ALTERNATE RULES FOR DUNE: EYE OF THE STORM COLLECTIBLE CARD GAME Last Unicorn Games Five Rings Publishing Group

OBJECTIVE Only changes to the rules are discussed. Otherwise play proceedes as normal. These are a combination of rules for Common Deck play with some other minor rules changes thrown in. A common deck game is more unpredictable than using preconstructed decks.

SETUP Each player starts with their Homeworld in play plus one of each ally, aide, charter, fief, personnel, and equipment card that has allegience to that house. Personnel & equipment are assigned after the other cards are put down. All these cards start in play.

DISTRIBUTION OF HOLDINGS Take one of each Charter and Fief (including Dune). Do not include those deployed in setup. Shuffle them and deal them all out to the players. Players start with these in play.

COMMON DECK SETUP Take all other cards, Imperial & House cards & shuffle them together, this is the Common Deck. Each Imperial card is unique so only include one of each. Do not put holdings or charters into this deck. Adjust the numbers of each type of House card to suit your tastes. All players share the same deck & discard.

TO WIN The conditions to win are the same except that 30 spice are required.

AREAS OF PLAY There is no assembly, Imperial deck, or Imperial Discard. Imperial cards are petitioned directly from your hand. Effects that target the assembly instead target the players hand. Effects that target the Imperial deck, or Imperial Discard instead target the Common deck or discard. There is no Imperial Draw or Discard.

RITES A player may only initiate one rite (CHOAM or Landsraad) per turn.

147

Fiefs subdued in Battle are automatically captured (The attacker takes control of the Fief) A players Homeworld fief gets +5 Resistance. Charters subdued in Arbitration are automatically captured. Dueling: The Duelist can only target another Duelist.

SUBDUAL OF PERSONAS Whenever a persona is vanquished or subdued roll 1D6 # Result 1-2 Persona Killed 3-5 Persona Injured- Treat this as the normal subdual rules: Card is flipped & accrues deferment tokens 6 Persona Captured Effects targeting subdued personas target injured personas.

CAPTURED PERSONAS Captives are face up & engaged Engage a persona to interrogate a captive. A captive can only be interrogated once per turn as a general operation. Roll 1D6: # Result 1-2 Killed 3 Nothing 4-5 Information: Look at opponents hand. Limit this result to once per captive 6 Blackmail or Brain washed: Take control of Persona. Persona gains intrigue skill = 4 Captives may be sold back to their original controlers

EQUIPMENT & TRANSPORTS Treat subdued results against these cards as discard (destroyed)

REINTERPRETATION OF CARDS Note: I have not seen all of the cards and none after the first expansion. Card Change Usurp Holding Do not use this card Glacier Refinery Do not use this card unless someone is playing the water merchants Salvaging Operation Do not use this card Historic Acquisition Do not use this card

ALTERNATE RULES FOR SPELLFIRE COLLECTIBLE CARD GAME TSR

OBJECTIVE Rules for common Deck play. These changes are based on the first edition rules.

TO WIN Raze all of your opponents' Realms. The game is a tie if all Realms of all players are razed in the same turn.

REALM DECK Put one of each Realm in this deck.

COMMON DECK CONSTRUCTION Take all the other cards and shuffle them together in a common deck. There are no Realms in this deck. Put in one of each unique card. All Champions, Holdings, and Artifacts are considered unique. Add other cards in numbers to suit your tastes.

SETUP Players are dealt 6 Realms from the Realm deck. Arrange theses into rows as per the normal rules. The Realm deck is not used again for the rest of the game. Each player takes 40 random cards from the common deck. These 40 cards are their play deck. During a game, players use their play deck, not the common deck. After the game, the play decks are mixed back into the common deck.

RULES MODIFICATIONS In Step 2 Players cannot automatically rebuild a razed Realm. Realms can only be rebuilt as a result of the abilities of another card. Players cannot attack on their first turn. There is no limit to hand size. Champions cannot be used directly from your hand to attack or defend in Step 4. Each Realm may attach one dungeon Spellfire Link

Lead 8 9 11 10 7 7 6 8 7

INFLUENCE TOKENS Each player begins with 9 influence tokens of a unique color. Non-player Princes without a token are neutral. Place one of your tokens on Non-player Princes you control. Influence tokens are also used to show ownership of stacks of Armies.

ARMY TOKENS Use blank tokens to represent armies.

SET UP Each player starts with 5 cards.

PLAYER PRINCES Each player begins with control of one Prince of Amber. Take one random card from the prince deck. These are known as Player Princes. A Player may have only one Player Prince. Each Player Prince starts in exile in Shadow. If a Player Prince is killed, another Prince controlled by the Player becomes his new Player Prince. If he has None, a neutral Prince becomes his new Player Prince. If there Are no neutral Princes left, he is out of the game.

OTHER PRINCES Draw another Prince card. This Prince currently controls Amber and is referred to as the King. Draw 3 more Princes who have regency. The 3 Regencies are: 1. Guardian of Arden 2. Admiral of the North Sea Fleet 3. Admiral of the South Sea Fleet The King and regents are referred to as Lords. All other Princes not controlled by Players start in Exile in Shadow. Exile princes start out neutral. You can never gain control of a Lord, but you can make regents neutral. If Amber is attacked the Lords will defend it.

GAINING CONTROL OF AMBER 152

A player can gain control of Amber by conquering it or causing the current King to be killed, captured or driven into Shadow exile. When a player takes control of Amber his Player Prince becomes King. Any other Princes he controls become regents. He may offer Regent posts to other players.

ATTRIBUTES Each Prince has 5 Attributes or Skills: Toughness: Hit points Fighting: Ability in hand-to-hand combat Leadership: Skill in strategy and tactics Will: Mental Strength in contests of Wills Wit: Intelligence

ATTRIBUTE LEVELS Use given stats or roll 2D6 separately for each attribute. Determine Attributes for each Prince before Play begins.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 2 phases: Fate Phase Action Phase

FATE PHASE Draw 1 card from the Fate deck. If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it. Max hand size = Wit Attribute of your Player Prince. Discard excess cards.

ACTION PHASE Each Prince you control may perform one action per turn. An action includes playing any Action, Contest, or Save card or performing a Non-card action.

NONCARD ACTIONS These do not require a card to do: * Bide your time: Draw one card. * Recuperate: Regain 1D6 lost Hit points. * Fortune telling with Trump Deck: Look at next 5 cards in deck. * Intrigue: Roll 1D6: on a roll of 5-6 cause a Non-Player prince to become neutral or take control of a neutral Prince. * Raise Army: Gain 1D6 army tokens. * Escape Imprisonment. The only action you may attempt if you have been captured. Roll 1D6. On a roll of 5-6 you escape.

CONTESTS Some cards indicate that a Contest will occur. The opposing princes roll 2D6 and add their level in the indicated attribute. The player with the highest score is the winner. (Reroll ties)

153

All cards causing a Fight contest are also attack cards. The Loser of a Fight Contest takes 1D6 Hits of damage and the contest ends. The Loser of Leadership Contest loses 1D6 of his Armies. Unlike all other contests, Leadership contests are repeated until one side has no Armies left. The side with remaining Armies controls Amber. The loser of a Will contest suffers the fate described in the card text. Princes (you control and freely offered by other players) may work together and combine their attribute levels in Fighting Saves (Fighting Attribute) and Leadership contests (Leadership Attribute).

CARD TYPES Blocking cards are used against Princes playing Fighting or Leadership type cards. They are resolved before the contest. In the case of blocked Conquest cards, Armies, not hits are lost. In the case of blocked Attack cards, the blocked Prince may make a Fighting Save to avoid all damage. Block, Negate, and Defense cards are played on an opponents turn in response to his actions. Result Modifier cards affect Princes that have just been damaged or if it says so, just lost a Leadership contest.

CARD TYPE NOTATION WC = Willpower Contest WD = Will Defense LC = Leadership Contest (You must have at least 1 Army to play) FC = Fighting Contest FS = Fighting Save A = Action B = Block N = Negate D = Defense M = Modifier RM = Result Modifier

FAQ's 1. FS cards (only one right now): is not clear to me how to use them. *The Shadow Assassins card... If you play it and you lose the contest, your Prince suffer no damage. (the assassins were killed, the Prince wasn't there) 2. How can different princes work together? *Princes you control can work together. You can add their attribute scores together in Contests. For example: You control Corwin & Bleys. You have them attack Amber. Amber is defended by the Lords Eric, Caine, and Gerard. It is a Leadership contest. Exiles: (8 + 10 + 2D6) vs Lords: (9 + 8 + 7 + 2D6). or in another example: Eric sends Shadow Assassins vs Corwin. You control Corwin & Random... You have them fight off the Assassins together. 3. When you use the effect of a blocking card: example, "Ambush"; effect: how do you apply the "Target Prince takes 1d6 hits" effect? *The contest being "blocked" will still occur unless the blocked Prince is killed or, in the case of a Leadership contest, loses all his armies. The Blocked Prince takes 1D6 damage before the contest begins.

1775, 1776, 1777, 1778, 1779, 1780, 1781. VICTORY The winner is the first player to win 3 turns in a row, or if this does not occur, the player to win turn 1781. (Its not how many battles you won, its who won the last battle)

SETUP The Americans are dealt 1/3 of the deck. The British are dealt 1/3 of the deck. The remaining 1/3 is set aside (and not used).

STRATEGIC TURN SEQUENCE Pronounce which year this turn corresponds to. Both players go through their deck and take out which cards they want to play this turn. Both players play these cards face to the table simultaneously. Cards that specify a year must be the same as the current Strategic turn. Note: Cards of Year = X can be used in any turn. Only the American player can use American cards. Only the British player can use British cards. Both players can use cards of the "Either" type. Add up the force of all cards played. Compare the Force totals of both players. The higher Force total wins the turn. Americans win ties. All played cards are discarded face up. Keep track of which player won which years.

AMULETS By Jörg Hansen A (not really) fantasy game of deduction for 3-5 players. Five spirits are captured in five amulets. The wizards try to find out their correct placements on the altar to cast the freeing spell. Succeeding means honour, failure means eternal doom. ;) Material You need the altar, a 5x5 map signed A1 to E5, and 5 amulets (pawns), in colors or shapes different. A 30-card deck is needed corresponding to the map grid (A1 to E5) and the 5 amulets. Since players need this deck only once at the beginning of the game, a standard poker deck and a translation table will do. Every player needs a sheet of paper as spell book, and a pen. The spell book The wizards should draw their spell books as following: A table, consisting of 8-10 rows 5 rows for the amulets, 3-5 rows for the wizards. The rows should be named with the amulets and the wizards' names. The wizards' names should begin with the own name and then proceed clockwise. An example spell book could look like this:

| | | | | || | | | | | | R | Y | G | B | B || M | S | S | R | A | | e | e | | d | l | | | l | | | o | | | w |

r e e n

| l | l || e | u | | u | a || | s | | e | c || | a | | | k || | n | | | || | |

t e v e

| i | n | | c | n | | k | e | | | | | | |

+---+---+---+---+---++---+---+---+---+---+ | | | | | || | | | | | +---+---+---+---+---++---+---+---+---+---+ | | | | | || | | | | | ... Setup Each player secretly draws one altar card and one amulet card. Undrawn cards come out of play, unrevealed. The amulets are placed randomly on the map, not more than one on one field. The Game The Wizards choose a start wizard, play continues clockwise. At his turn, a wizard may ask

162

a question to the old spirits (the others players). All answers are recorded by the players. The game continues and is only interrupted by the tries of casting a spell. If the spell succeeds, the casting wizard wins the game. If it doesn't, the casting wizard is out of play and may no longer ask the spirits. But he is still giving answers as a spirit. In the case of all wizards failing the casting, there is no winner, only misery... Asking the spirits At his turn, the active wizard may place the amulets on the altar as he likes, not more than one per field. Afterwards he reads out the coordinates of the 5 amulets, for all players to write down in the amulets' rows in their spell book. The spirits' answers Beginning at the left of the asking wizard, each player checks his personal altar field and his personal amulet. Then he gives exactly one of four possible answers, which is recorded in all players spell books in the row of the answering spirit. His possible answers are: 1.) If his amulet is on his own field, he answers "I'm home". All players note a '*'. 2.) If a foreign amulet is on his own field, he answers "Someone is at my home". All players note a 'o'. 3.) If his amulet is in one line or one row with his field (same letter or same number), he answers "I can feel my home". All players note a '+'. 4.) If none of these conditions occur, he says "No answer". All players note a '-'. In case of conditions 1 & 3 or 1 & 3 occurring at the same time, the spirit's answer is always the higher one. Answer 3 is not mentioned then. The asking wizard never gives any answer. Casting a spell A wizard may interrupt the game at any time, if he thinks he found out all the spirits' amulets and their coordinates. He places the assumed player amulets on their assumed homes and all the assumed non-player amulets at random altar fields. This is his try of casting the spell. The others players (the spirits) now check this try clockwise, beginning with the left neighbour. If his personal amulet stands on his personal field, he answers "yes", and the next player continues checking. If it doesn't, he says "No", and the casting has failed. The trying wizard may not ask the spirits anymore, and the game continues where interrupted before. But if all spirits answer "Yes", they are freed and the casting wizard wins the game. Designer's note This game, years old and deriving from boring school times, is nothing else but a master mind clone, but a funky multi-player one. Experienced players should not need more than 5-6 questions. This is not really a party game, since all players stare at their notes and beg each active player for a thinking break :) - give it a try.

ANCIENT GENERALS INTRODUCTION Two player card game. Each player is a general fielding an ancient army represented by the player's decks. 100 card common deck. 40 Unit cards & 60 Tactics cards.

SETUP Shuffle the deck. Randomly deal 50 cards to each player. Each player now has his own 50 card deck. Each player draws a hand of 5 cards from their own deck. The more aggressive player goes first.

OBJECT Run your opponent out of cards. Destroy his army. A player loses once he has no more cards left in his deck or reserve pile.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 6 phases: 1. Scout Phase 2. Discard Phase 3. Draw Phase 4. Flank Phase 5. Artillery Phase 6. Attack Phase

SCOUT PHASE Discard a unit card with the scout trait to your reserve pile to look at your opponents hand, or the next 5 cards in any deck.

DISCARD PHASE Discard any number of cards from your hand to your reserve pile.

DRAW PHASE Draw to fill your hand to 5 cards. If your deck ever runs out, shuffle your Reserve pile and use it as your deck. Cards sent to your Casualty pile stay there for the rest of the game. If there are no cards left in your deck or reserve pile, you lose.

FLANK PHASE You may discard unit cards with the flank trait to gain one flank point each.

170

Keep a running total of your flank points during the entire game. The player with the most Flank points is called the Encircling army, the other player is the Encircled army. If tied, neither army is the encircling army.

ARTILLERY PHASE Discard a Siege Artillery card to your reserve pile to cause opponent to discard one card from their deck to their casualty pile.

ATTACK PHASE Play one or more units from your hand to attack. These are the attackers. Place them face up on the table in front of you. The defending player may play up to one blocking unit per attacker. The defender assigns specific blockers to specific attackers. Unblocked attackers do damage to the main body of the opponents army. The defender must discard a number of cards from his deck to his casualty pile equal to the damage rating of the attacking unit. The units of the Encircling army do +1 damage each. If an attacker is blocked compare the force totals of the 2 units. The unit with the lower total is killed and is sent to that players casualty pile. The victorious unit is sent to his owners reserve pile. A tie in Force values results in both units being killed. If the blocker can evade the attacker, both units are discarded to their reserve piles. Tactics cards can be played be either player to affect the outcome of the battle.

THE CARDS Players share a common deck.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 3 phases: Orders Phase Move Phase Battle Phase

ORDERS PHASE Draw 3 cards. If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it. Max hand size = 5 cards. Discard excess cards.

MOVE PHASE Play (discard) a Move card to move one of your units. Units cannot move through other units except for Psiloi who may move through their own troops.

174

The move card has a number. This is the number of spaces the unit moves. A Unit cannot use a Move card with a value higher than its move limit. Moves are diagonal or orthogonal. Instead of moving just one unit in any direction, you have the option of moving one or more units forward the indicated number of spaces using a single move card.

BATTLE PHASE Each of your units can make up to one attack (kill) on your turn. If one of your units has an enemy unit in range that it can automatically kill, then that unit is destroyed. No card needs to be played. Instead of making an auto-kill you may play (discard) an Attack card to have a unit attack any enemy unit in its range. The target is destroyed unless it is immune to the attacking unit in which case it is recoiled. A recoiled unit must move back one space if possible. Attacks are diagonal or orthogonal. Units cannot attack through other units. The defender may play a Defense card to prevent the target card from being killed. If a Recoil card is played the defending unit must move back one space or the Card cannot be played. Artillery cannot move and attack in the same turn. To play a Supported Attack card the target must be in range of two of your units. To play a Reinforced Defense card the target must be next to a friendly unit. To play a Rally Defense card your general must be within 2 spaces of the unit. To play an Outflank attack card the attacking unit must be closer to the opponents edge of the board than the defending unit. To play a Rough Defense card the target must be on Rough Ground

Your opponent may also play a Fight card (with the same limitation). The target stack loses a number of Ants (killed) equal to the Card played. If you wipe out a space, you may move 1 of your attacking ants into it.

NEST PHASE You may play a meld and tokens. A Meld consists of 3 cards: One each of Forage, Dig, and Breed. Each card has a Level modified by the Tokens played. Determine your lowest Level in the 3 categories. Gain a number of Ant counters equal to this Level. For Example: You have Forage 3, Dig 7, and Breed 8: You gain 3 Ant counters (of your color). Place these counters in a space you occupy or in adjacent empty spaces. You may stack any number of Ants in a given space. Discard played Cards and Tokens

Place stacks anywhere or one space a turn? A) Stacks don't move. That's intentional. The only way to expand into new spaces is by Card Melds and Fighting. If you want to move Stacks an optional rule would be to discard a Fight card to move its level in Ant counters one space each. When distributing counters after a Meld the counters can be spread over several adjacent spaces, they do not all have to go into one space. 2) Is fighting just one round or can you place more cards down after the first. A) One card only as I envisioned it. However, of course you may want to allow more in your House Rules. 3) In your example of reproduction phase, if two food tokens were added, then the total ants added would be 5. Correct? A) Yes, correct.

GAME END The game ends when a player goes to draw a card and there are no cards left in the deck.

TOKENS Use different colored tokens to represent Fame, Fortune, and Faith points.

DICE Six sided dice are needed.

ADVENTURE DECK Players share a common deck. The deck contains 6 types of cards mixed in: Challenge cards, Treasure cards, Event cards, Item cards, Location cards, and Aid cards. The deck contains one of each card listed.

FIGURES Each player uses a figure or pawn to represent their character on the board.

181

CHARACTERS Each player chooses 1 Character or Hero: Ali Baba- If Ali defeats a "Men" Challenge he gains 1 Fortune Token. Aladdin- Aladdin gets +1 to Fate rolls vs Magic, Djinn & Underworld. Sindbad the Sailor- Sindbad gets +1 to Fate rolls vs Animals, Beasts & Nature. Thief of Bagdhad- The thief gets +1 to all Steal rolls. Morgiana- (Ali Babas’ Slave) She may reroll one roll per turn. Antar- (The Black Warrior Poet) Antar gets +1 to Fate rolls vs Men.

SETUP Shuffle the deck. All players start on Bagdhad. Roll high on 1D6 to determine turn order.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Note that characters will often lose or gain turns. On their turn a player rolls 1D6 and moves his character pawn clockwise that many spaces. If the pawn lands on an empty space that player draws 1 Card from the Adventure deck. If the draw is an Item card, Treasure card, or Aid card, the player puts the card face up in front of him. Treasure cards are worth one Fortune point each. If the draw is an Event card, resolve it according to the rules on the card and then discard the card. If the draw is a Challenge card roll 1D6 (This is called the Fate roll): On a roll of 1-3 the hero fails the challenge and misses his next turn. A failed challenge card remains on the space. On a roll of 4-6 the hero wins the challenge. The winning hero keeps the challenge card he wins. Won challenge cards are worth 1 Fame point each. If a pawn lands on a space containing a challenge card he must face the challenge. If the draw is a Location card it is placed on the space and remains there permanently. Every time a pawn lands on a location card it must follow the instructions on the card.

STEALING If a pawn lands on a space containing an opponents pawn he may roll 1D6 (This is called the Steal roll): On a roll of 1-3 nothing happens. On a roll of 4-6 the hero may steal one treasure or item or fortune token from his opponent.

ARC GAMMON INTRODUCTION Two player variant of backgammon.

THE BOARD The Board is a ring of 12 Circles. The circles are also referred to as spaces. The spaces are numbered 1 to 12.

DICE Two white six sided dice are needed. One black six sided die is needed. This is referred to as the ‘Modifier die.’

PIECES Each player gets a set of 12 tokens of a distinct color (red & blue for example). Tokens must be able to stack.

SETUP The red player puts one token on spaces 7, 9, and 11. The blue player puts one token on spaces 8, 10, and 12. That leaves each player with a pile of 9 tokens. Roll high on one die (1D6) to determine who goes first.

STACKING You may stack any number of tokens in a space. A stack contains one or more tokens. All of your tokens in the same space must be stacked together. Moving a stack onto another stack makes one bigger stack.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 4 phases: 1. Roll Phase 2. Modifier Phase 3. Place Phase 4. Move Phase

ROLL PHASE Roll all 3 dice (the two white and one black).

MODIFIER PHASE If all 3 dice show the same number (Triples) then put two tokens on

186

the space with that number. For example: You roll 3 Fives: Put 2 tokens on space number 5. You cannot do this if the space contains 3 or more enemy tokens (Go to Place Phase). If the space contains 1 or 2 enemy tokens they are captured. Captured tokens go to their players (owners) pile. If the dice come up 1,3,5 (Odds) then Switch the location of one of your stacks with an opponents stack. If the dice come up 2,4,6 (Evens) then Knock one of your opponents stacks out of play. Knocked out tokens go to their players pile. If you got Odds, Evens, or Triples then your turn ends. Do not go on to Place or Move Phase.

PLACE PHASE Discard the Modifier die (it is only used in modifier phase). If both white dice show the same number (Doubles) then put one token on the space with that number. For example: You roll 2 Sixes: Put 1 token on space number 6. You cannot do this if the space contains 2 or more enemy tokens (Go to Move Phase). If the space contains 1 enemy token it is captured. If you got Doubles this turn then your turn ends. Do not go on to Move Phase.

MOVE PHASE For each roll on each of your white dice you may move a stack or part of a stack that many spaces clockwise. For example: on the white dice you roll a 3 and a 4. You move one of your stacks 3 spaces. Then you move another stack 4 spaces. Or you can move a stack 3 & then 4 spaces (or 4 & then 3 spaces). You must move if it is at all possible. Moving part of a stack allows you to break up big stacks. A larger stack can capture an enemy stack of smaller or equal size by moving onto it. Captured tokens go to their players pile. A stack cannot be moved onto an opposing stack that is larger

WINNING To 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

win you must satisfy one of the following conditions: Capture all of your opponents tokens Occupy any 9 spaces Occupy Spaces: 12,1,2,3 Occupy Spaces: 3,4,5,6 Occupy Spaces: 6,7,8,9 Occupy Spaces: 9,10,11,12 Occupy any 5 spaces in a row.

ARCHMAGI

CREDITS By Lloyd Krassner Edited & Updated by Jason Newell

INTRODUCTION Mages (Archmagi) use spells, heros, monsters, armies, and artifacts to destroy each other and conquer the world.

MAP DESIGN Click here for Archmagi Map Generator by Peter Cobcroft. Use a Hex map or hand draw Territories. Draw one large continentof 20-40+ territories. Differentiate between Sea & Land spaces. Predetermine the terrain type in each Hex by choice or by using the D20 & consulting the Terrain chart. If a map is missing certain terrains, units from those terrains can be deployed in only special circumstances. Play may proceede on a map of unknown territories using the Exploration Phase and rules. One or more Sea hexes should be designated as the Reef or Abyss terrain types. An alternative to the D20 method is to make Terrain chits for each of the Terrain types. Map designers may want to specify terrains that cannot be used for deployment.

SETUP- RESOURCES Each player randomly selects: 1 Archmagi chit 3 Unit chits in Reserve 5 Spell chits Players must also select the color of their banner chits. Players place their Archmagi on Land hexes on opposite ends of the map.

SETUP- DETERMINE TURN ORDER 188

Players roll high. Reroll ties. High roll goes first. Play proceedes in a clockwise direction. A player whose turn it is, is called the Active Player.

VICTORY CONDITIONS Destroy all opposing Archmagi units.

CHITS Units are represented by counters or chits. The chit has the name of the unit(or spell, etc.) on it. Make seperate Recruitment piles for: Archmagi chits, Spell chits, Banner chits, Artifact chits, Unit chits. Players will often have to refer to the lists in the rules to find out what certain chits do. All players should have their own copy of the rules.

6-Battle A 'Round' is when all players have taken a turn. Then starts a new Round.

1- RECRUIT UNITS PHASE Acting Player draws 2 Unit chits from the Unit Recruit Pile Each unit, represented by the chit, is recruited in only one type of territory. Deploy the unit into its territory only if that territory is occupied by units you control. A player may hold up to 5 Unit chits in a pile called the Reserve. Excess Units in the reserve are discarded back to the Unit Recruit Pile. Once per turn in his recruit phase, A player may discard two reserve chits to draw an artifact. Artifacts are also represented by chits and are drawn from a seperate artifact pile. Deploy artifact to any unit capable of using it. Artifacts can also be stored in the Reserve.

2- RECRUIT SPELLS PHASE All players, not just the acting player, draw 3 spells from the Spell Pile. A player can have a maximum of 7 spells in their Spell Reserve. Discard extras. These spells can be cast by any mage or spellcasting unit the player controls.

3- SCOUT PHASE Active players units only. Each Scout or Rogue unit belonging to the active player may reveal all units enemy stack adjacent to it. Units with the Steal ability may try to steal a target artifact in the same, adjacent hex. Units with Guard ability will catch and kill the thieves on a roll of 1-2 on preventing the theft. The theft succeeds on a roll of 1-2 on D6; One attempt per Scout phase. The stolen artifact stays in posession of the thief until it is given to another hero in the same hex in move or scout phase The target player must reveal if artifacts are present in the stack before a attempt is made.

in an or an D6,

steal

STACKING & BANNERS Any number of units may be stacked together. Each stack has on top a colored banner chit indicating the owner of the stack. Banners should also be marked with an identification number The banner chit also hides the identity of the units & artifacts in the stack. Each player has as many banners as they need. Instead of putting the stack under the banner, the stack may be kept off of the map in an area marked with the same ID # as the banner.

4- MOVEMENT PHASE Acting Player Moves his units. By Default, units move 1 Hex. Swift units may move 2 Hexes into identified hexes. Very Swift units may move 3 Hexes into identified hexes. Flying units may move over hexes occupied by enemy stacks. Units in the same space may trade artifacts

5- EXPLORATION 190

This Phase occurs only in games where the identity of the terrains in the Hexes was not predetermined. Randomly determine, using the D20, the identity of unknown Hexes adjacent to your stacks.

6- BATTLE PHASE Occurs when two opposing stacks occupy the same space. The active player is always the attacker. Remove the stacks from the board, for the duration of the battle, but leave the banner chits as markers. The Battle Phase is divided into 4 segments:

I- REVEAL COMBATANTS SEGMENT Each player simultaneously reveals one of their units from their stack. These are the combatants. During Sea battles, transported units may be combatants.

II- TACTICAL OPTIONS SEGMENT Players simultaneously reveal any other units that modify the combatants. This includes: Mages casting Spells, Generals, Sites, Artifacts, Archers. A mage or spellcaster may cast any number of spells per Battle Phase. Units with skirmish or vanish may return that unit to their stack and replace it with another, once per Battle Phase. Units with guard may replace another unit once per Battle Phase. Units with Paralyze may affect one unit per Battle Phase

III- BATTLE ROLL SEGMENT Both units roll 1D6 and add Modifiers. This is the Battle roll The Modifiers include the bonuses listed in the description of each combatant. The higher rolling unit destroys its opponent. Ties result in both units surviving. Stacks with mages may cast spells before or after the rolls depending on the nature of the spell. Normally effects that are battle roll modifiers are revealed before the roll is made.

IV- RESPITE SEGMENT Certain effects occur.

VICTORY? The Battle Phase is repeated until one side is destroyed or the attacker calls off the attack. The battle may end with both stacks still occupying the same territory.

RETREAT The defender may, during a battle, sacrifice a unit in Tactical options Segment to move the stack to an adjacent empty or friendly Hex.

ARMY MAN BACK GAMMON INTRODUCTION 2 player backgammon variant.

BOARD & PIECES Use a normal backgammon board. 2 six-sided dice are needed. Each player needs a set of 15 Army men: A Green set & a Tan set.

SET UP Place 3 of your men in each of your back 5 rows (spaces). Roll high on 1D6 to see who goes first.

VICTORY Be the first to move any one of your men (soldiers, units, figures) off your opponents back row. The roll to move off the back of the board does not have to be exact. For example: One of your men is 4 rows away: You win on a roll of 4, 5, or 6. Your remaining men may be anywhere else on the board.

ARMY MEN Each of your men has 2 traits: Weapon & Stance.

WEAPON TABLE Weapon: Attack Range Bazooka, Mortar, Radio 6 Machine Gun 5 Rifle 4

SMG

3

Grenade, Flamethrower Pistol

2 1

STANCE TABLE Stance: Prone Kneeling Standing Running

Maximum Move 1-3 1-4 1-5 1-6

Saving Throw 1-4 1-3 1-2 1

CASUALTIES If a man is killed (hit, captured, destroyed) he is removed from the board and

208

is out of the game.

SERGEANT RULE Designate one of your men as the Sergeant. If the Sergeant is killed you must either Dig-in or Charge every turn.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns Each turn has 4 phases: 1. Tactics Phase 2. Maneuver Phase 3. Attack Phase 4. Stance Phase

TACTICS PHASE Roll 2 dice. You must use your dice rolls during the turn if it is at all possible.

MANEUVER PHASE Use one of your dice rolls to move one of your men that many spaces forward. A man is limited to how far he can move by his Stance. For example, a prone soldier could only move using a die roll of 1, 2, or 3. A running soldier could use any die roll. There is a 5 man limit to how many of your men may be in any one row. If your man lands on a row containing one enemy, the enemy man is captured. If your man lands on a row containing two or more enemy men, your man is captured.

ATTACK PHASE Use one of your dice rolls to attack and kill an enemy man. Consult the Weapon table. The attack must be made by a man with a weapon that matches the die roll. For example, if you rolled a 4, the attack must be by a rifleman. The target enemy must be exactly a number of rows away equal to the die roll. For example, a rifleman can only attack an enemy exactly 4 spaces away. Only one enemy unit (attackers choice) is killed by the attack. The target unit may make a Saving Throw: The attacked man rolls 1 die. Consult the Stance Table: If the roll is in the Saving Throw range the unit is not killed. For example, a standing soldier would save on a roll of 1 or 2.

STANCE PHASE You may replace a soldier with another figure that has the same weapon but a different stance. For example, you may replace a kneeling rifleman with a running rifleman.

FIRE & MOVEMENT RULE You may switch the order of the Movement & Attack phases in your turn.

CHARGE ORDERS RULE 209

You may move two men instead of attacking.

DIG IN ORDERS RULE You may attack with two men instead of moving.

INFILTRATION ORDERS RULE A single running soldier may move twice using the Charge Orders Rule.

MINE DETECTOR OPTIONAL RULES Place 3 hidden minefields in 2 spaces on your side of the board. Enemy units that land on these spaces must save or be destroyed. Soldiers with mine detectors that enter these spaces automatically destroy the minefield.

VARIANTS More or less men. More dice. Units with multiple weapons.

ARTIFACT: CORE RULES INTRODUCTION Each player controls a party of adventuring archeologists and treasure hunters trying to be the first to get some, relic, artifact, or treasure and bring it back.

EVOLUTION OF THE GAME The game rules have outgrown the original Victorian theme. There are now modules belonging to other historical periods. Instead of a party of victorian adventurers, the pawn may represent such diverse things as Infantry squads, Pirate ships & Bomber groups.

DICE & PIECES Six and ten sided dice are needed. Each player has a pawn to represent their adventuring party on the board. Use a small trinket to represent the ‘Artifact’. There is only one Artifact.

THE BOARD The board is a single winding path of connected spaces with a start space and an end space. The path should be 30 spaces long. The First space represents the safety of European Victorian Civilization. Spaces 2-15 represents travel through the first scenario module. Spaces 16-29 represents travel through the second scenario module. The End space is the final destination where the Artifact is found.

THE DECKS There are 2 decks for each scenario: The Module 1 Deck and the Module 2 Deck Each deck has one of each card in its card list. The Scenario Module Card lists are posted on other pages on this website.

THE PARTY Each party consists of 6 members: 1 Leader, 3 companions, and 2 lesser companions. Companions may actually represent a group of individuals. The Leader has 5 skills. Companions have 3 skills each. Lesser companions have 1 skill. Skill List Table 1D10 Skill: Notes: 1 Combat +1 Unarmed, Guns, Blades, Tactics 2 Strength +1 Muscle, Will, Courage 3 Agility +1 Reflexes, Swiftness 4 Sailing +1 Swimming, Diving, Boating, Navigation, Boat Building 5 Survival +1 Hunting, Hiking, Outdoor skills, Mountaineering, Guide 6 Mechanics +1 Repairs, Construction, Physics, Engineering 7 Linguistics +1 Languages, Archeology, History, Cartography 8 Personality +1 Leadership, Charisma, Wit, Charm, Diplomacy 9 Science +1 Naturalist, Medicine, Geology, Chemistry, Psychology 10 Pick any one skill Party members roll ten sided dice to determine skills. Record party member information on a notepad. Note: in some modules the concept of the 'party' and skills are heavily modified.

PREMADE PARTY MEMBER CARDS Download Sample Cards here, by Markus Salo ([email protected]) Check these out, they're really cool! OPTIONAL BIDDING RULES (By Markus Salo) Every player creates the leader (player) as stated in the rules. Create 30 companion and servant cards with randomly premade skills. The players can look all the cards and draft the companions and servants. Every player has 30 bidding points they can use. The highest bidder gets the card. This way building of the group becames more exiting and less random.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn consists of 3 phases: 1. Move Phase 2. Draw Phase 3. Challenge Phase

MOVE PHASE Roll 1D6. Move that number of spaces towards the end space. You automatically stop when you enter the end space. If you are the first to land on the end space your party acquires the Artifact. Once a party has the Artifact then all other players may move their parties in either direction on the path. The party with the Artifact must move towards the start space. The first party with the Artifact to reach the start space wins the game.

DRAW PHASE If you land on an empty space in spaces 2-15 draw a card from the Module 1 deck. If you land on an empty space in spaces 16-29 draw a card from the Module 2 deck. If you land on an opponents party do not draw a card. If a deck ever runs out, shuffle its discard and draw from it. Cards are of 2 types: Challenge cards & Aid cards. Place Aid cards in your hand. Challenge cards are encounters your party faces immediately in Challenge Phase.

CHALLENGE PHASE Each challenge card lists one or more skills. Roll 1D6 and add the number of those skill levels present in your party. If the skill listed is X2 then add twice the number of that skill level in your party. Discard Aid cards to gain skill levels in the skill indicated on the card. This is the Skill roll. Next roll 2D6. This is the Challenge roll. If the challenge roll is less than or equal to the skill roll you win the challenge. If the challenge roll is greater than the skill roll you fail the challenge. The adventure card may say what happens if you win or lose the challenge. If the card does not give directions, then, if you lose the challenge, one of your party members is killed or lost. One random non-leader party member is killed. The Leader is always the last to go.

DIFFICULTY MODIFIER Abbreviated DM. This is a property of individual Challenge cards. The DM is added to the Challenge roll.

222

MOVING ONTO AN OPPONENTS PARTY If you land on an opponent’s party there will be a fight. The current player rolls 1D10 on the skill list table. Both players make skill rolls. In case of a tie nothing happens. The loser loses a party member. The winner takes the Artifact from the loser if the loser was in possession of the Artifact.

SAMPLE ADVENTURING PARTY Leader: Dr Ozgood, English Scientist, boxer, and adventurer Skills: Fighting, Strength, Personality, Science X 2 Companion: Mustafa, Australian Guide and smuggler Skills: Combat, Survival, Strength Lesser Companion: Lady Destine, the love interest Skills: Personality Companion: Theodore, Dr Ozgood's cousin Skills: Linguistics, Agility, Personality Companion: New Zealand Maori Warriors Skills: Sailing, Fighting, Strength Lesser Companion: Bruno, the sheepdog Skills: Agility

OPTIONAL AID DECK Before adventuring the party draws 2 cards from this deck.

FAQ's Example of Resolving Challenges: Lets say the party has 3 levels of agility & they face a Agility X 2 challenge. They would add (3 x 2 =) 6 to their skill roll. If the party had 2 levels of agility they would add 4 not 6. If the party had 0 levels they would add nothing. Yes, the odds are almost always against the party. They need a lot of luck to make it back. As an optional rule to make life easier for the party: Roll 1D10 instead of 1D6 for the skill roll. Zaks Artifact Variant - Instead of Killing a member in case of a Challenge failure one member is Wounded: a Wounded member looses one of his skills. A Wounded member that is wounded again is killed - At the end of an adventure one member can gain one extra skill: with this option you can create some Campaign games where surviving members will improve. This rule apply to all the teams, not only the winning one. - New Aid Card

223

First Aid: remove the Wounded status from one member.

ARTIFACT SUPPORT PAGE The support page for Artifact is available here (scenarios & rules in italian, board & player sheet in english)

VARIANT RULES Developed and playtested by Barry Ellis ([email protected]) Three ways of moving, experience chips, and more strategic choices involving Aid cards and encounters:

MOVE PHASE Your party may proceed with a Regular Advance, a Cautious Advance, or a Bold Advance. The Cautious and Bold Advances will impact the result in the Challenge Phase. For a Regular Advance, roll 1D6. Move that number of spaces towards the end space. For a Cautious Advance roll 2D6 and move your pawn the number of spaces of the lower number, or one space only on doubles. For a Bold Advance, roll 2D6 and move your pawn the number of spaces of the higher number, or six spaces on doubles. If your roll causes your pawn to move past a space with an opponent’s pawn, you may instead end your turn on the same space. This will enable you to avoid a Challenge from one of the module cards, and entitle you to draw a card from the Aid deck, unless you are initiating combat (see Combat section). You must stop when you enter the End (Artifact) space. Whenever your pawn first lands on or crosses space number 10, 20, or 30, you take a chip, which represents your party acquiring experience. These will help your party survive future challenges by adding to your total Skill roll in each Challenge phase, or in combat with another party (+1 for each chip). If you are the first to land on the end space your party acquires the Artifact. Once a party has the Artifact, all other players may move their parties in either direction on the path. The party with the Artifact must always move towards the start space. The first party to reach the start space with the Artifact wins the game.

DRAW PHASE If you land on an empty space in spaces 2-15 draw a card from the Module 1 deck. If you land on an empty space in spaces 16-29 draw a card from the Module 2 deck. If you land on a space with an opponent’s party you do not draw a Module card, but may instead draw an Aid card, or, if they have the Artifact, initiate combat (see Combat section). If any deck is exhausted, shuffle the discards and make a new Draw deck.

CHALLENGE PHASE Each Challenge (Module) card lists one or more skills. Roll 1D6 and to that result add the number of those skill levels currently in your party. (This is known as the Skill roll.) If the skill required on the card is listed is X2, add twice the number of that skill level in your party. You may discard Aid cards to add to skill levels in the skill indicated on the card. Next roll 1D12.

224

(This is the Challenge roll.) If the Skill roll was greater than or equal to the Challenge roll, you win the challenge. The adventure card may say what happens if you win or lose the challenge. If it does not specify what happens if you lose, one of your party members is randomly lost. (The Leader will always be the last to be lost.) If you arrived at the space via a Cautious Advance, add one to your Skill roll. In addition, you are allowed one re-roll, but if taken, the second result is the official one. If a Bold Advance was used, subtract one from your Skill roll. After the Challenge roll compare totals as usual, but if a +12 result is obtained on the Challenge roll, the party suffers an automatic failure regardless of which total was higher. If you have any Experience chips, you may add +1 to your Skill roll for each chip you have. You also have the option to use Experience chips to re-roll any Skill roll (for a Challenge or Combat). In this case, simply discard a chip for each re-roll attempt.

COMBAT If you land on the opponent’s party in possession of the Artifact, there will usually be combat. If they do not have possession of the Artifact or you do not wish to have combat, you may draw an Aid card. For combat, the current player rolls 1D10 on the Skill list table to see which skill will be used, then both players make Skill rolls, adding in any skill levels their party members may have in that area. Aid cards may be discarded to boost the appropriate skill total. The player with the Artifact will win if his total is equal to or higher than the current player. The losing side will lose a random party member. If the loser was in possession of the Artifact, it is given to the other party.

AID DECK At the start of the game each party is dealt 2 cards from this deck. In place of any move, a party may miss a turn (to look for resources) and draw an Aid card instead of a Module card. You may have no more than 5 Aid cards in hand.

ASIMOV'S FOUNDATION AND EMPIRE WAR GAME By C Gerard Luft (4 PLAYER AND 1 PLAYER RULES) FOUNDATION AND EMPIRE BASED OFF OF THE FOUNDATION GAME (1973) A WAR GAME SET IN THE 123RD CENTURY OF THE GALACTIC EMPIRE (3RD CENTURY OF THE FOUNDATION ERA)

SET UP This is a four player war game (solo game version is given below) set during Asimov's Foundation and Empire Novel. Each player controls a quadrant of the Milky Way Galaxy: (Listed from Terminus, going Spinward) THE FOUNDATION, THE IMPERIUM, THE UNION OF WORLDS (THE MULE) and TAZENDA. You will need an 8x6 game board with 24 major systems located equally the four quadrants. You can print or copy and paste the provided game board (which is overlaid over an image of the Milky Way Galaxy) at: Download You will also need 12 counters representing the three fleets of each quadrant. Each player must place the one of each of his three fleets on a major system in his quadrant. Each of these systems is then occupied.

THE TURN 1. ISSUE ORDERS: Movement and orders are simultaneous. So each player will need to write his orders at the beginning of the turn and then reveal them together with the other players. 2. MOVEMENT: Fleets only move 1 sector a turn. You must choose which fleets move and which fleets support. Due to Hyperspace, Fleets Supporting moving fleets need not be adjacent to those moving fleets (as opposed to the rule regarding fleets in the process of occupying a major system; see#3 and #4 below). The number of supporting fleets determine a moving fleet's POWER during that turn:

# MOVING FLEETS FLEETS' POWER

# SUPPORTING FLEETS

1

2

3

2

1

2

3

0

1

MOVING

Only 1 fleet may occupy one sector. If a fleet wishes to move into a sector with an opposing fleet in it, then it may attack it. If the POWER of both fleets is equal, then it is a stand off, and the attacking fleet may not occupy that sector. If one fleet's POWER is greater than the other, then the loosing fleet must retreat to an open sector. If all sectors around it are occupied, then that fleet is destroyed (removed from the game).

234

3. OCCUPYING SECTORS WITH MAJOR SYSTEMS: If a system is not occupied a fleet may enter that sector. If it remains in that sector for 4 consecutive turns, it is effectively occupied by that force. That fleet must remain there to keep it occupied, but on that fourth turn, the player gains an extra fleet, which may be placed in any of the adjacent (orthogonally or diagonally) sectors which do not have a fleet in them. Both fleets are then freed up to proceed in conquering new systems. While that system is still occupied, if there is no fleet there to defend it, then an opposing fleet can enter it an occupy it for four consecutive turns, thus taking that system away from the original holder (If that happens, the extra fleet that the system produced is immediately disbanded (removed from the game). 4. CONQUERING SECTORS WITH MAJOR SYSTEMS: If a system is occupied by an enemy fleet then a fleet may combat it by moving to an open sector adjacent to it. If the two fleets' POWER is equal it is then a stand off. If one fleet's POWER is greater than the other, then the other fleet must retreat to an open adjacent sector. If no sectors around it are open then that fleet is destroyed (removed from the game). If the defender is retreated, then the attacker is moved into that sector. The occupying rule (four turns rule) from #3 applies for the newly occupying fleet. " ATTACKING FLEET'S POWER: as per the table in #2 " DEFENDING FLEET'S POWER: The Defending Fleet's power is 1 +1 for each of adjacent sector (orthogonally or diagonally) occupied by one of its own fleets.

WINNING When one player occupies 13 Sectors with major systems, then that player is the winner.

FOUNDATION AND EMPIRE SOLO GAME VERSION You are the FOUNDATION, and may set up your three fleets as mentioned above. Your goal is to occupy 13 Sectors with major systems. The opponent is the IMPERIUM. The Galactic Empire occupies the other three quadrants, and starts with 9 fleets. To position the fleets, shuffle the nine fleet counters with 27 blank counters. Beginning at the top left of the game board, and moving across (as if reading a paragraph) place a counter, upside down, on each of the sectors of the 3 quadrants of the IMPERIUM. Position your fleets, and then turn the counters over to see where the enemy fleets are. The IMPERIUM will keep all fleets in a major system for four turns, before moving that fleet and its new fleet. IMPERIUM'S ACTION TABLE (Roll for every three fleets that are not in the process of occupying a system) ROLL 1d6 # Fleets Moving # Fleets Supporting Moving Fleet's Action 1-2 1 2 Move towards nearest FOUNDATION occupied system 3-4 2 1 Move to nearest IMPERIUM occupied system to support that fleet 5-6 3 0 Move towards nearest unoccupied systems

ASIMOV’S FOUNDATION by c gerard luft

INTRODUCTION 2 player game. Players take the roles of the first foundation (psychohistorians) and the second foundation (mentalists). They compete for control of the future second galactic empire.

DECK One shared deck, composed of 1 of each card listed below. In addition to the play deck, you will need six-sided dice.

VICTORY The player who first wins the SECOND GALACTIC EMPIRE PHASE (GE2) wins. SET UP and PLAY Each player draws 7 cards to start. Players play the turn simultaneously.

THE TURN DRAW PHASE Each player draws 5 cards

RESEARCH PHASE (RP) Each player may play down cards with a +1(or more) rp modifier on them. Only first foundation players may play cards with a 1F perquisite and only second Foundation players can use 2F cards. Cards with a "-" perquisite can be played by either player. This rule applies to each phase. Each player may roll 1D6 plus 1D6 for each "+ rp" on the cards he played. If one of the players rolls is at least 3 times as great as the others roll, than he wins. The winner May play any card with "cr" perquisite for the remainder of the turn.

PERIPHERY PHASE (PP) As per above but cards played will have +1(or more) pp. If their is a winner in this phase, he may use cards with "cp" perquisite for the remainder of the turn. He now controls the outer systems.

IMPERIUM PHASE (IP) As above, but now cards with "+1(or greater) ip" can be played. If there is a winner he may now use cards with the "ci" requisite. He now controls the inner systems, the remains of the first galactic empire.

236

SECOND GALACTIC EMPIRE PHASE (GE2) Same as above, but cards with +1(or greater) ge2 are used. If there is a winner, than he wins the game. The opponent player has the robot daneel olivaw, gaia, bliss or galaxia card, he may play it now thwarting the other players win. If there is no winner or the win is thwarted then the game continues. Each player discards the cards he played. Each player who has more than 12 cards in his hand must discard to bring his hand down to 12. And another turn begins.

Astral Dreams Space Opera Miniature Game By C. Gerard Luft Legal This Miniature game is based off of the story Astral Dreams (copyright © 2002 C. Gerard Luft). The game mechanics herein are derived from the Open Gaming License of the D20 Systems Reference Document.

The Setting In the hundred and sixty-fourth millennia after the birth of Christ, mankind had only just discovered the power that lies in the quantum universe. Humanity was dependant on the Hyperspace/ Time Continuum for its pan-galactic empire. But the discovery of the Calabi-Yau continuum meant that man could finally reach out to galaxies other than his own. But it would take another hundred millennia before the Quantumliners could safely navigate the six extra-dimensions of the Calabi-Yau Universe and make the Hyperspace Drives obsolete. But one man would not wait. The first use of the artificial wormholes that were constructed along the superstrings of the quantum dimension was for intergalactic listening. Pesrume Ladek, the greatest cyberneticist mankind had ever produced took a humble assignment at an Imperial Intergalactic Listening Post. He used the station’s mainframe to download his mind and soul into a complex algorithm and transmitted it through the local wormhole to God knows where. It is now the dawn of the five hundredth millennium since the birth of Christ. The Empire of Man has reached out into the intergalactic depths of space, and a lost son has been found…unfortunately. The great Quantumliners of the Scouting Guild has encountered an artificial species completely inimical to humanity. Each alien robot is directly controlled by a single artificial intelligence known as Ladek! The twisted, disembodied mind of the former human scientist now lords over these automaton artifacts of a long extinct race. They have invaded every galaxy controlled by man’s glorious Imperium, and have begun a systematic extermination of every human life it encounters. While the Imperial Navy and Marine Corp defends the home galaxies against the attacks of these monsters, it falls to the Scouting Guild to hunt out and destroy Ladek units along the Imperium’s frontier worlds.

Miniatures This skirmish game is designed for two players: one player plays the Human Imperial Scouts and the other plays the Ladek Marine Robots. Forces are “purchased” by means of points. Both sides must decide how many points they should begin with. I highly suggest beginning a campaign (a series of wargames between the same player(s)) with fifty points for each side. For each game you play afterwards add ten points to your allowance until you finally find a good number of points for both of you. Remember, each side begins with the same number of points as the other, and they should be free to purchase their troops in any way they should choose at the start of

240

each game. Ideal miniatures for the Imperial Scouts would be any sci-fi miniature in space armor or a space suit (as can be inferred from their armor class and melee damage, they wear full battle dress). But any sci-fi miniature or counter will do. Ideal miniatures for the Ladek Marine Robots would be very alien looking robot miniatures (arachnid shaded most ideally). But any robot miniature or counter will do.

Tabletop If you have a table or desk clear of any junk, you have a great battlefield. If you choose to use terrain use common sense to make appropriate terrain rules (e.g., half movement up a hill, double movement down it).

D20 You will need a twenty sided die in order to use these combat rules.

The Round Initiative: Each player rolls 1d20. The highest roll has initiative and can move on of the miniatures first. Reroll ties. The Turn: Starting with the player who won initiative and then alternating between the two players, each miniature gets to take a turn. a.

Movement:

The miniature may move up to their speed. b.

Melee Attack:

If the miniature’s movement brings it base to base with an opponent miniature, that miniature can attack its target.

245

i. Roll 1d20 and add your melee attack score to the die roll. If it is equal or greater than the opponent’s Armor score, then it is a hit. ii. The opponent receives damage equal to your Melee Damage score. This damage is removed from the opponent’s Health score. If any creature’s health falls to 0 or less it is defeated and removed from the game. c.

Range Attack:

If the miniature’s movement brings it within Range of an opponent miniature, that miniature can attack its target. However the miniature can not make a ranged attack if it already made a melee attack during its turn. i. Roll 1d20 and add your range attack score to the die roll. If it is equal or greater than the opponent’s Armor score, then it is a hit. ii. The opponent receives damage equal to your Ranged Damage score. This damage is removed from the opponent’s Health score. If any creature’s health falls to 0 or less it is defeated and removed from the game. Subsequent Turns: After the player who won initiative finishes his turn with his miniature, it then becomes the other players chance to take a turn with one of his miniatures. The Turn sequence is repeated back and forth until each player has taken a turn with each of his miniatures. Then a new Round begins and each player starts by rolling for initiative.

Objective Destroy all of the opposing side’s units.

ASTRUM IMPERIUM INTRODUCTION Generic rule set for a series of empire building/conquest games. MAP The map depicts an irregular, interlocked set of territories. Over half the territories are empty space. Revenue generating spaces are planetary systems. Other territory types include: Nebulas: Ships must stop upon entering. CONTROL MARKERS Use chits to represent control markers. UNITS Use chits to represent units. Units include Leaders & non-leader units. DECK Players share an action deck. In some games, each player will have their own action deck. The action deck cards allow you to move your units. SETUP Each player starts with a Homesystem with 10 random units. Others will be mixed into the unit chit pile. TURN SEQUENCE Draw Phase Move Phase Exploration Phase Battle Phase Revenue Phase Recruit Phase Upkeep Phase Control Phase

DRAW PHASE First discard any cards you don't want. Each player draws 5 action cards. Max hand size = 7. Discard excess cards. If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it.

MOVE PHASE Use Action cards to move stacks or units in stacks. A Fast unit can move 1-3 spaces. A Medium speed unit can move 1-2 spaces. A Slow unit can move 1 space. Units can move into but not through opposing stacks. Fortifications cannot move (Move = 0).

247

Starfighters cannot move by themselves, they must be transported aboard ships. Your opponent can only look at the top unit of your stacks

Supralumina Detection Index Determines if the defender’s stack is able to intercept an attacking stack. The defender rolls on the SDI based on the size of the attacking stack and the distance it has traveled. The attacker’s total only counts the force value of Capital and Escort ships in the stack. A failed roll means the defender may only use half of his available warship’s Force value in battle. Roll modifiers: -1 per Scout in attacker’s stack +1 per Scout in Defender’s stack -3 per Fleet Scout in attacker’s stack +3 per Fleet Scout in defender’s stack +3 per Starbase in defender’s stack +1 per Starbase in adjacent hex

EXPLORATION PHASE When entering an unexplored system for the first time roll to determine the presence of Resources, Minor Races, and Enigmas. 1D6 Resources: Revenue: 1-2 Poor 1 3-4 Moderate 2 5-6 Rich 3 1D6 Minor Race: Revenue: 1-3 No Minor Race 4 Primitive Race +1 5 Modern Race +2 6 Advanced Race +3 1D6 Racial Trait: roll (6) 1 +1 Revenue 2 +1 Force w/Starfighters (1-3) 3 +3 Force w/Fortifications (1-4) 4 +1 Force w/Capital Ship (1-2) 5 +1 Research 6 Natural Leader (Force Bonus: 1-3=+2, 4-5=+3, 6=+4

248

Specialty:1-3=General,4-5=Admiral,6=Scientist) ENIGMA PHASE 1D6 Enigmas: 1-4 No Enigma 5-6 Enigma If the planet has an Enigma roll 1D6. Add +1 to the Enigma roll for each Scout/Surveyor in the stack. On a roll of 5-6 the Enigma is solved. On a roll of 1-4 the Enigma causes unintended consequences. 1D6 Consequence: 1-3 The Exploring stack is destroyed. 4-5 The Exploring stack must retreat. 6 Roll again plus if there was a Minor Race Present, it is destroyed. A system cannot be controlled by diplomacy or conquest if it has an unresolved Enigma. If the stack is destroyed the Enigma remains and must be faced again. If the Enigma is solved, it goes away forever. DIPLOMACY PHASE Include a Diplomacy phase after Enigma phase. If the newly explored planet has a Minor Race roll 1D6. On a roll of 6 or better, the race willingly joins your empire. If you roll a 1 the race will never join your empire through diplomacy. You are considered to be at war. If a diplomacy attempt fails, you can try again next turn.

BATTLE PHASE When two opposing stacks occupy the same territory there will be a battle. Add up the total Force values for each side. A failed SDI roll means the defender may only use half of his available warship’s Force value in battle. Players may play action cards to increase their force value.

The side with the highest force value wins. The losing stack must retreat one space. The losing stack loses the difference between the player’s Force values in units. The winner picks the first unit lost. Fortification units in the losing stack are destroyed automatically. The winning stack loses units with a force equal to at least half the force total lost by the losing stack. The winner decides which units are lost. If one stack has a Leader and the other

249

does not, the stack with the leader gets double that Leader’s Force value. Treat Leaders like other units with respect to casualties. Bombardment bonus is for stacks attacking occupied planets. If both sides have Starfighters, the side with the lowest Starfighter value losses ½ its Starfighter Force value. Escort value greater then enemy Starfighter value, lose ½ Starfighter value. Players may repair ships after battle. Ships may only be repaired in the area they were damaged in, by units that are in the same stack. Shipyards may repair up to 2d6 warships, Fleet Repair Docks may repair 1d6, Starbases may repair 1d6/2 Escorts or Starfighters, and a Colony may repair 1 Starfighter.

After a battle both sides replenish their hands to 7 cards. Players may attempt to conquer minor races. The Minor Race will generate Revenue x 1D6 Force in its defense. When attacking a Homesystem the defender will get +20 Force. You may only take control of an occupied planet in control phase if no defending units remain.

REVENUE PHASE Gain revenue points for every planet with a Colony or minor race under your control. A planet can only support a number of Colonies equal to its resource value. Each system generates revenue equal to its: Resources + Installations + Minor Race value. A planet’s resource level will limit the type of Revenue Installations it can support. (Poor- No Refinery, Industrial Center) (Moderate- No Industrial Center) (Rich- no limit) If the system has no minor race, you must first build an Outpost. On the players NEXT turn they may build a Colony in that system. Homesystems generate 10 Revenue points per turn, and gain 1 Revenue for each level advanced in Installation development. Revenue may be saved from turn to turn. Players may roll of Technological development and Upgrades in this phase.

Leaders Leaders are not purchased; they are raised from Homesystems or Academies. Cost 5, roll 1d6, get 5+ for a Leader to be raised. Education (Force Bonus): 1-3=+1, 4-5=+2, 6=+3, 7+=+4 Specialty: 1=General Bonus for/vs Bombardment 2=Admiral Bonus for Capital Ships or SDI roll 3=Scientist Bonus for Technical/Enigma

250

roll 4=Surveyor Bonus to Resource roll 5=Diplomat Bonus for Diplomacy roll 6=Scholar Bonus for Leader/Education roll Terraform allows for two options: 1) Raise the resource value for by planet ONE (poor to moderate). 2) Allow an additional Colony on an occupied planet, up to its maximum. Terraform is discarded once it has been used. A planet may Terraform a planet as many times as a player wishes.

RECRUIT PHASE Draw 5 random units from the unit chit pile. Purchase units. A unit’s cost is equal to its Force value. If you purchased all the drawn units, draw another 1D6 random units. Discard unpurchased units back to your unit chit pile. Units must start at the following locations: Homeworld Colony Shipyard Starbase Capital Ships Yes NO Yes NO Escort Ships Yes NO Yes Yes (only 1/turn/base) Starfighters Yes Yes Yes Yes (only 3/turn/base) Leaders Yes (Academy) NO No Existing warships may be converted to new tech levels at any location that they can be built at. The conversion cost is ½ the difference between the types, round up (Heavy Cruiser to Battleship cost 2). Conversions count against a Starbase’s maximum production. A system must first have a colony before constructing ANY other installations or fortifications. A Starbase may be built in a non-system space adjacent to a system you control. Only Fortifications may be built at Homesystems. They are assumed to have any other newly developed installation automatically. They may not be Terraformed.

UPKEEP PHASE Units that automatically receive upkeep = Basic Upkeep x total Revenue. Basic Upkeep starts at 2

251

Example: You generate 10 revenue points per turn... You may have up to 50 units. Add 1 to Basic Upkeep for each Escort Level you advance. (Convoy & Anti-piracy ops) Discard excess units.

CONTROL PHASE Place a control marker on every revenue-generating planet occupied by one of your units. UNIT ABBREVIATIONS S = Slow M = Medium speed F = Fast C = Capital Ship E = Escort Ship X = Starfighters K = Fortification L = Leader

ATTRITION: PORK CHOP HILL "How many hordes in a chinese platoon?" -Unkown US Marine

INTRODUCTION Important note: this a variant of the "Attrition" Game in the WWI section. Two player Card game simulating the stagnant Warfare of the Korean War's later phase.

OBJECTIVE Chinese: Capture pork chop hill hills

US: Reduce Chinese inf. to zero. and hold the hill!

SUPPLIES The six territories on the hill must be taken: The forward slope => A Military Crest => hilltop => the CP => the chow bunker =>the rear slope

SETUP US Player starts with all Territory Markers US Players forces are weakend by the rotation of units out of Korea, Thus he only gets 50 squads. The Chinese are desperate to get the hill to use for leverage at the Pammajon Talks. They Get 100 Squads. ARTILLERY BARRAGE Phase During the Korean War the Chinese forces are utterly lacking. They only roll a 1d2 during this phase. The US however had plenty of artillery. The US player rolls 1d6 for artillery bombardment and 1d6 for air support. To determine how many Chinese squads are killed.

ORDERS PHASE The US player is never ordered by the brass to charge.

CARD LIST: NOTES Heavy Shelling: Active player plays in Barrage Phase. +1D6 squads killed Machine Gun: Defending player plays in Defender Fire Phase. +2D6 squads killed Hand Grenades: Either player plays in Defender Fire Phase

260

Negate a Machine gun card or kill 1D6 enemy squads Bunker: Defending player plays in Barrage Phase Negate casualties caused by artillery (Bunker Destroyed) Barbed Wire: Defending player plays at end of Defender Fire Phase Play an additional Defender Fire Phase Bugle Calls: When Active the Chinese player plays in Defender Fire Phase Negate a Barbed Wire or a Machine gun card Reinforcements: Active player plays in Logistics Phase.

You lose 1D6 squads. Opponent has 2D6 Killed Break Down in Command: Active player plays in Logistics Phase. 1D6 squads killed Major Offensive: Active player plays at end of turn Go again but skip Logistics & Artillery Barrage Phase POW Captured: Active player plays in Logistics Phase Look at opponents hand and discard one of opponents cards Notes: Yes these are the same cards as the original game but; hey look on the bright side now you can still use a 52 card deck! Assign each card a corresponding number 1 through 14 and there you go. Some cards only effect the Chinese. Watch Pork Chop Hill by Gregory Peck for mood. I plan a second edition after I read the book the movie is based on. SOLO-VARIANT: Play as US, the Chinese play all the cards they draw as soon as possible. Chinese Player always charges.

B3- Palace of the Silver Princess Warp Quest Module Introduction This Warp Quest Adventure is adapted from the D&D Basic Adventure Module Palace of the Silver Princess. Dungeons and Dragons and Palace of the Silver Princess are copyright © Wizards of the Coast and are included here under the Fair Use copyright laws. A PDF of Adventure Module is available free from WotC at: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/dx20020121x The adventures and special combat resolution rules are modified from the D20 System Reference Document under the Open Gaming License.

Dice and Miniatures You will need a twenty sided die (d20) and a six sided die (d6). You can use Fantasy miniatures or counters to keep track of your characters progress on the board. If the players of this module wish to expand it into a more traditional miniature game, they can assign characters and medium sized miniatures a 6” movement and large creatures a 12” movement, and play out combat on a small battlefield.

Decks There are two module decks that are listed below. The player draws one card from the deck corresponding to the module they are on and then react to the challenge given.

Board The standard Warp Quest map with two modules is used.

Adventurers Each Player chooses 1 character to play. The winner is the player who manages to get his character to the end of module 2 first. If more than one character lands on the same space they may or may not choose to battle.

Move Phase · Roll 1D6. Move that number of spaces towards the end space. · You automatically stop when you enter the end space. · If you are the first to land on the end space your party acquires the Objective. · Once a party has acquired the Objective then all other players may move their parties in either direction on the path. · The party with the Objective must move towards the start space. · The first party with the Objective to reach the start space wins the game.

Roll 1d20 to hit for character or monster and add its Att score to the roll (Roll for extra attacks as well, if applicable). 3. If the Modified Roll is greater than the target’s AC, then the attack hit. The target subtracts the attackers Dmg score from its HP. · For Characters- If HP is lowered to 0 or less, than the character is defeated and that player is out of the game. If the Dmg is “Poison Gas”, “Venom” or “Paralysis”, then the player must roll 1d20 + the character’s Save. If the modified roll is less than the number given, than the character is defeated and the player is out of the game. · For Monsters- If the Monster’s HP is reduced to 0 or less, than the monster is defeated and the player ends his turn. · After completing the Attack round for the character who won initiative, then #2 and 3 above is repeated for the character who lost initiative.

RULES OF BASEBALL It is assumed players are familiar with Baseball & the Rules of Baseball. There are 9 Innings. The Visitors bat the first half (The Top) of the Inning. The Team at bat is the Offensive Player. The Team at Field is the Defensive Player. The remaining rules deal with the parts that need to be simulated in a card game format.

TURN SEQUENCE A Turn represents a single batters turn at bat.

Important: A Turn does not correspond to a single pitch, but rather, the The final end result of a Batter’s efforts. Each turn is divided into 3 phases: 1. Draw Phase 2. Batting Phase 3. Fielding Phase

DRAW PHASE Both players draw or are dealt 2 cards from the deck. If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard & draw from it.

BATTING PHASE The Offensive Player rolls 2D6 (2 six-siders added together) To get a Result on the Batting Table. This Roll is called the Batting Roll. The Offensive player may play up to one Hit card and one Batter card to Modify the roll. The Defensive player may play one Pitch card to modify the Roll. Players may also play ‘Effect’ cards to modify the roll. Hit, Batter, Effect, and Pitch cards are collectively referred to as Modifier cards. Modifier cards must be played before the Roll is made. Before any Modifier cards are played, the Offensive Player may play one ‘Automatic Result’ card. If the Offensive player doesn’t play an Automatic Card, the Defensive player may play one Automatic card. Automatic cards provide a particular outcome instead of making the Batting Roll. Played cards are always immediately discarded.

BATMAN INTRODUCTION Card game for 2 players. One Player is Batman, the other is the Nemesis player

THE DECKS The The The The The

Batman player uses the Batman Deck. Nemesis player has 3 decks: Villains Deck Location Deck Action Deck

OBJECT The first player to accumulate 10 Victory points wins.

TURN SEQUENCE Each turn consists of 5 phases: Draw Phase Crime Phase Hunt Phase Confrontation Phase Victory Phase

DRAW PHASE Players first discard down to 3 cards. Both players fill their hands to 7 cards from their own decks. The Nemesis player must draw 1 Villain card and 1 Location card, the remainder may be from the Action deck. If a players deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it.

CRIME PHASE The Nemesis player plays one Villain card to the table face up and one Location card face down.

HUNT PHASE The Batman player must guess the Location card (there are 5). If he is wrong, he may discard a clue card to guess again. If he cannot guess it, the Nemesis player gains the advantage. If he does guess it, Batman gains the advantage.

CONFRONTATION PHASE All cards with a number value are called Force cards. Both players play all their force cards to the table simultaneously. The Batman player can only play:

292

one ‘Batman’ one ‘Robin’ one 'Bat Girl' and one ‘Bat Vehicle’ card. When certain cards are played, this causes other specific opposing cards to be discarded. For example: If the Batman player plays antidote, or gas mask, this causes all gas cards and poison cards to be discarded. Each player adds up his cards numbers to get his Force Total. The side with the Advantage gets +15 to his Force Total. Compare totals. The higher total wins. Flip a coin to resolve ties.

VICTORY PHASE The winner of the confrontation gets a victory point (VP). If the Nemesis won and he had a crime card out, he gains 2 more VP. If Batman wins by more than double the Force, or he wins and then plays a capture card, he gains 2 more VP. If the Nemesis negates the capture card, Batman may play another. Discard all played cards.

BATTLE DICE ADDITIONAL RULES Quests & Artifacts by Dave Sanborn [email protected] Before rolling on a given turn, a player may announce that he's questing. He may select as many dice as he wants to form a "questing party", and the rest of the dice act as his army. The army is rolled as per the standard rules against the opposing player's army. If a player has dedicated dice to his questing party on a given turn, and his army is wiped out in that turn, then the game is over and the player loses. Army casualties may never be applied to dice in the questing party, and vice versa. Dice used for initially forming a questing party may only consist of Infantry, Archers, and Mages. Cavalry, Generals, and Monsters may not go on quests, and must always stay with the army. If a player wishes an Artifact to accompany the quest, he may add it to the questing party, keeping in mind the specific rules for its use (more on Artifacts later). The opposing player acts as the "Dungeon Master" (for lack of a better term), and constructs an encounter roster for the questing player to face. The DM player selects a number of dice (NOT from his own army) equal to the number of dice in the questing player's party. The encounter roster may contain Infantry, Archers, Mages, and Monsters, though Monsters must be purchased on a one-for-two basis. The two players conduct combat as per the normal rules, keeping in mind that Tactics and Maneuver rules don't change (though it will be difficult for either player to generate Tactics and Maneuver points). If a mage rolls on the spell-effects table, and rolls a '6' (the Summon spell) the player may add ANY type of dice to his party, INCLUDING Cavalry, Generals, and Monsters. If either army is destroyed or routs (after a morale check) the quest is over. If the questing player still has non-Artifact units left in his questing party at this point (whether his party routed or he won), he may return ALL dice in his questing party to his army. If only Artifacts are left, they are considered lost, and may NOT be returned to the questing player's army. The DM player may NEVER add the contents of the encounter roster to his own army. Should the questing player win, he rolls on the following Artifact Table to determine which Artifact he has procured. Artifacts are dice which are rolled in battle which give some kind of positive bonus. Some Artifacts have restrictions on them (other dice must exist in the party/army, can only be used once, etc.) which are explained in the following section. When using Artifacts, keep in mind the logical limits to their use (for example, if you only have one Infantry unit, that Infantry unit CANNOT use more than one magic sword at the same time, or multiple shields; a single Mage unit COULD NOT use two wands at once). Also keep in mind that effects are NOT cumulative, except where noted (if you have two Infantry units, and two Swords + 1, each Infantry unit would be eligible for a +1 modifier; you could not apply a +2 modifier to a single unit).

BATTLE DICE INTRODUCTION A two player game of Fantasy battles using Dice to represent individual units.

OBJECT Play continues until one side routs or is utterly destroyed.

DICE Dice are also referred to as troops and units.

UNITS Dice: 1D4 1D6 1D8 1D10 1D12 1D20

Unit Type: General Infantry Archers Cavalry Mages Monster

Includes: Leader, Warlord Pikes, Swordsmen Skirmishers, Slingers, Missile troops, Catapults Chariots, Elephants, Knights Wizards, Spell casters, Clerics Dragons, Giants, Warriors

Dice = Type of die used to represent the indicated unit type.

SETUP Both players must use an equal number of dice. The types of dice each player picks may be different. A Player may only pick one type of monster. Example: Both players have 20 point armies (Both are using 20 dice) Player A has 2 Generals, 4 Monsters (Dragons), 2 Mages, and 4 each of Archers, Cavalry, and Infantry. Player B has 1 General, 2 Monsters (Archmages), 6 Mages, 6 Archers, and 5 Infantry.

CASUALTIES A player always decides which of his units have been destroyed.

SIMULTANEOUS PLAY Players take their turns and phases at the same time. All units that can act in a phase may do so, even if they are destroyed during that phase.

TURN SEQUENCE 302

Each turn consists of 8 phases: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

Roll Phase Monster Phase General Phase Magic Phase Maneuver Phase Missile Phase Melee Phase Morale Phase

ROLL PHASE Both players roll all of their dice.

MONSTER PHASE Look at the results of all of the D20's. On a roll of 1 or 2 the Monster leaves the battle. (is considered destroyed) Any roll of 13-16 destroys one opposing monster. Any roll of 17-20 will provide 1 Monster point. For each Monster point roll once on a Monster Table. All Monster tables are unique. You can only use the one Table that corresponds to the monsters you picked in setup. Sample Monster tables are given at the end of the rules.

GENERAL PHASE Look at the results of all of the D4's. Any roll of 4 will provide 1 Tactics point. Compare the Tactics point totals of both players. The player with fewer Tactics points loses all their Tactics points. The player with more Tactics points subtracts the losers total from his total. The winner gets to roll once on the Tactics effect table for each Tactics point he has left.

BATTLE FOR THE UNIVERSE by C. GERARD LUFT

OVERVIEW Millions of years in the future, admits a universe dying a cold, premature death, mankind has overcome great challenges. They have conquered and outlived every alien race. They have overthrown a millennial reign of a cruel quasi-immortal tyrant. They have occupied all the remaining habitable galaxies of the Universe. But their greatest challenge is now themselves. The Human species has evolved into two different peoples: the Morlocks and the Eloi. And now they battle each other to determine which of them shall be masters of the universe.

SET UP One player plays the space fleets of the Eloi. The Eloi are a gentle, yet determined people, under the vigilant care of their Empress. They seek to liberate the six galaxies from the cruel Morlocks. One player plays the space fleets of the Morlock Empire. The Morlocks are a fierce and technologically advance people. The only way they wish to serve the Eloi, is on their dinner tables. Each player uses an identical deck of cards (see card list below). Six sided dice will also be required.

GOAL To win, one player must possess all six of the inhabitable galaxies of the Universe. To capture (or recapture) a galaxy card, one must win a battle by destroying all of the opponents ships.

THE EMPIRES Each empire starts play with three galaxy cards. These cards are played to the table, and remain their through out the game. If a galaxy is successfully conquered, it is moved to the side of the table occupied by the winning player.

THE ELOI EMPIRE The Eloi begin with these three Galaxy cards: M31, NGC253, and M81.

THE MORLOCK EMPIRE The Morlock begin with these three Galaxy Cards: LC342, M83, and M33.

THE TURN 1. DRAW- Each player draws six cards from his deck to begin the game. Each subsequent turn, he draws three cards. The player must discard any cards in excess of nine. If the deck runs out of cards, the discard pile may be

320

shuffled. 2. DEPLOY- Each Galaxy yield 20 resources which the player may use to deploy his fleets. Fleets are deployed from one's hand, up to the amount needed. One resource is required for each AD (attack Die) of that fleet. Each player plays down his current fleet before him. 3. ATTACK- The players then attack each others' fleets. All attacks are considered simultaneous. Each player rolls 1d6 for each AD of his combined fleets. On a roll of 1, one enemy fleet receives damage. The damaged fleet is randomly selected. For each point of damage to a fleet, one attack die is subtracted from it. If a fleet card falls to zero AD, than it is discarded. The battle continues all fleets of one player are destroyed. The remaining winning player may now take a Galaxy card from the looser of that battle. That player may now use those resources from that conquered galaxy to supply his fleet next turn. The fleet cards used by the winning player are then returned to his hand. All damaged incurred by those fleets that were not discarded are repaired. In case of players loosing their remaining ships simultaneously, then no one wins that battle. The turn is repeated until one player wins by controlling all six Galaxies.

Forest spaces cost 2 move points to enter. Mountain spaces cost 3 move points to enter. Rivers cost 1 move point to cross. Sea spaces cost 1 move point to enter.

Only one army or ballista may occupy a territory at a time. Only one ship may occupy a territory at a time. Only one castle may occupy a territory at a time. Only one dragon may occupy a territory at a time. Enemy units cannot occupy the same territory. Units may move through friendly units. Dragons may move through non-dragon enemy units.

Ships may attack into adjacent coastal spaces. Castles cannot attack, they can only defend. Armies cannot attack ships. A unit may make only one attack per turn. If the adjacent space contains multiple enemy units, choose which of your units attacks which enemy unit. If there are multiple units in a space, castles are always attacked last. If a dragon is attacked by a ship or an army the dragon player may discard a Move card to have it retreat (fly away) instead. Both the attacking and defending unit draw 2 cards each.

If a ballista is attacking and loses it is not destroyed, nothing happens. A ballista can only be destroyed when defending. If a hero is destroyed the player may discard a Move card to have it retreat instead. If the hero cannot retreat it is destroyed. Retreating heroes discard their artifacts. If a unit draws no cards it can use in battle, the player may substitute one card from his hand that the unit can use. If the battle totals are tied, both units draw another card to break the tie. All cards used in battle are discarded. Destroyed chits go back to the owner’s draw cup.

324

Because of their powerful spells of mass destruction, Wizards get +1 to their battle total vs. armies and ships. Because of their numerical advantage, Armies get +1 to their battle total vs. heroes and ballistae. Castles get +1 to their battle total vs. ships. Because they can sneak up on them and cut their heads off, Heroes get +1 to their battle total vs. dragons and wizards.

BATTLE ROYALE INTRODUCTION Battle Royale is a chess variant that uses Strategic & Tactical boards.

STRATEGIC BOARD 7 X 7 Chess grid. The corner squares & center squares are special locations called towns. On opposite sides of the board in the center of each players back row is a special location called the Castle. Players move their armies around on the strategic board

OBJECTIVE The object of the game is to capture the opponents castle

PLAYING PIECES Players should use cardboard counters or chits to represent pieces. Write the name of the unit type on the counter. Each player should have counters of separate colors. Chess men (pawns, bishops, knights, etc.), used on the tactical board, are also referred to as pieces, troops, units, or figures. Armies, used on the strategic board, are also represented by numbered chits

TACTICAL BOARD 6 X 6 Chess grid.

Players move their men around on the tactical board

TURN SEQUENCE 1-WHITE MOVES 2-BLACK MOVES 3-REVENUE PHASE 4-RECRUIT PHASE SET UP Each player starts with 6 Armies on the strategic map. One army is located in the castle & and the other five surround the castle

ARMIES The location of armies are represented by counters on the strategic map

333

An army represents a force of up to 5 men Stack the units under the army counter An army counter that contains no pieces is destroyed

STRATEGIC MOVES A player can move all of his armies once in a single turn. Armies move like kings in chess Only one army can occupy a single space, except during attacks During an attack a player moves an army into a space occupied by an opponents army The battle is immediately resolved on the tactical Board If two adjacent armies do not move then units can be transferred between them A unit can only be transferred once per turn

TERRAIN Before a battle starts place terrain obstacles on the tactical map On each row place one obstacle marker Use a six sided die to determine on which of the six squares in the row to place the obstacle Figures cannot enter squares containing obstacles

BATTLES Battles take place on the tactical map when two opposing armies occupy the same space Put up a partition in the middle of the board so players set up their men in secret Players set up their men in any order on the back row & the partition is removed The defender goes first moving or capturing with one piece The attacker then gets to go. Play proceedes as in regular chess, players alternating turns Movement & capturing is just like in normal chess The battle continues until one side is eliminated or no pieces can move or no capture has been made in 10 turns or no further captures can be made by either side After the battle the strategic turn continues If one side was eliminated then its army counter is destroyed If neither side is eliminated then the attacker must retreat his army back to the square it came from

REVENUE PHASE Players collect 2 gold from their Castle and 1 gold from each town occupied by one of their armies

RECRUIT PHASE Players may spend their gold to buy one or more units Players may save their gold from turn to turn A new unit appears in an army that is in or adjacent to a town (or castle) you control New army chits may also be purchased They must be purchased with at least one figure in their stack Army chits appear adjacent to a town (or castle) you control

PLAYTEST RESULTS by Codexier at [email protected] I just played through exactly 1000 games of Beach Head (ok, my Unix Server did, and I just watched it scroll for a few minutes). Here's a few statistics I thought were interesting: Fewest Infantry Casualties: 9 Most Inf. Casualties: 86 Avg Inf. Casualties: 42 Most Inf. Alive at the end of the game: 18 Most Turns it took to win: 23 Fewest Turns it took to win: 9 [NOTE: My script used the removal of Bunkers and Trenches as the only Victory Condition. It also randomly choose a defense to remove when a choice was given.]

BEES INTRODUCTION Players control rival Hives trying to acquire the most honey.

BEES, BOARDS, FLOWERS, & DICE Use a 13 X 13 grid as the board. Each player has a set of 4 counters of a separate color to represent their bees. Have a set of counters of a unique color to represent the flowers. The flower counters become nectar, and then honey counters. Six sided dice are required.

OBJECT Be the first player to have 20 honey counters.

SETUP Each player controls one corner square known as their hive. A player stacks all 4 of his Bee counters onto his hive space. Roll high on the eight sided die to determine turn order.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 2 phases: 1. Bloom Phase 2. Move phase

BLOOM PHASE Roll 2D6 twice. The first roll is the x-axis coordinate, the second roll is the y-axis coordinate. Place a flower counter on the indicated square. If the flower blooms on a players bee, that bee gets a nectar counter. Flower counters may be stacked on top of each other.

MOVE PHASE Roll two six sided dice. Move one of your bees a distance equal to one of the dice rolls. Move one of your bees a distance equal to the other roll. This can be the same bee, or two different bees. If you roll doubles, you may use each dice roll twice. If one of your bees lands on a flower counter, it is captured: stack the counter onto the bee. It is now called a nectar counter. When a bee with nectar counter returns to his hive, the nectar counters become honey counters. Keep your captured honey counters in a separate honey pile. A bee may hold any number of nectar counters. A bee with a nectar counter that lands on a flower gets a pollination bonus: Add a counter to your honey pile. If one of your bees lands on an opponents bee, that bee is stung. A stung bee is moved back to his players hive.

354

The stinging bee steals all the nectar counters from the stung bee. Bees may only move orthogonally. Your bees cannot move into other players hives. Bees may 'jump' over other bees. You may stack your bees. Stacked bees may move nectar from one bee to another. A bee cannot move onto an opponents stack of bees. A bee that lands within 2 spaces of his hive may automatically be moved onto the hive by his controlling player.

VARIANTS Use a standard chessboard and eight sided dice to get coordinates.

BIOMECHANOIDS INTRODUCTION 2+ player card game based on the fantasy creations of HR Giger. Players raise armies of Biomechanoids to destroy each other with.

DISCLAIMER The works of HR Giger are licensed, trademarked & copyrighted. This is merely a fan site.

VICTORY Reduce your opponent to zero hits.

HITS Each player starts with 20 hits.

THE DECK Players share a common deck.

SETUP Each player is dealt a hand of 7 cards. The strangest player goes first.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn is divided into 6 phases: Regenerate Phase Destiny Phase Attack Phase Birth Phase Metamorphosis Phase Decay Phase

REGENERATE PHASE Draw 2 cards. If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it. Remove 1 Weakness token from every card that has 1 or more weakness tokens.

DESTINY PHASE Destiny cards are played in this phase by you and your opponent.

366

Destiny cards are discarded at the end of this phase.

ATTACK PHASE Each of your Biomechanoids may attack once on your turn in this phase. Biomechanoids have an Attack & Defense value. The attacking Biomechanoid does damage to your opponent equal to its attack value. Your opponent may block a Biomechanoid with one of his own to prevent this damage. A Biomechanoid cannot attack or block if it has a Weakness token. Compare the attack & defense values of the 2 Biomechanoids. If the attack value of the attacker exceeds the defense value of the blocker, the blocker is destroyed. If the attack value of the blocker exceeds the defense value of the attacker, the attacker is destroyed. Players may play Action cards to alter the attack/defense values of target Biomechanoids. The effects of Action cards only last till the end of the turn. A Biomechanoid that attacks gets a Weakness token at the end of the phase.

BIRTH PHASE You may put one Biomechanoid card into play. A Biomechanoid is a creature. Place the card face up in front of you. The Biomechanoid stays in play until it is destroyed. Some cards allow you to play additional Biomechanoids during this phase. Any time a Biomechanoid’s Defense value is reduced to zero or less, it is destroyed. You may also put one Location card or one Artifact card into play.

METAMORPHOSIS PHASE To a Biomechanoid you just put into play this turn, you may attach Feature cards. Feature cards give a bonus to the attack & defense values of the Biomechanoid. Some Feature cards give penalties. Your opponent may attach penalty Feature cards to your newly played Biomechanoid this phase.

DECAY PHASE Max hand size is 7 cards. Discard excess cards.

BIRTHRIGHT CONQUEST

INTRODUCTION Card game for 2 players. Set in the AD&D Birthright Campaign Setting. One player controls the Armies of Good. The other player controls the Armies of Evil.

DISCLAIMER Birthright is a copyrighted product. This is merely a fansite.

VICTORY Destroy all your opponents.

375

To destroy an opponent, you must: Reduce your opponents Realm deck to zero cards. Then eliminate all his Realms in play.

THE DECKS There are 3 decks: The Good Deck The Evil Deck The Common (Action) Deck The Good & Evil Decks are collectively referred to as Realm Decks. Players keep 2 Hands: The Realm Hand kept Face up on the Table The Action Hand held in the players hand

CARD TYPES Card types in the Realm Decks include: Lords (Regents) Realms (Countries) Armies Card types in the Common Deck include: Spells Events Blood Abilities

SETUP Each player draws 5 Action cards. Each player draws 4 Realm cards. The Evil player goes first. Each player starts with 5 Gold.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 6 Phases: Alliance Phase Planning Phase Realm Phase Recruit Phase Event Phase Attack Phase

ALLIANCE PHASE Draw 1 Realm card or Fill your Realm Hand to 4 cards. Pay 3 Gold to draw an extra card. Maximum Realm hand is 4 cards. Put your choice of excess cards on the bottom of your Realm deck.

PLANNING PHASE Draw 2 cards from the Common deck. Pay 2 Gold to draw an extra card. Maximum Action hand size is 7 cards. Discard your choice of excess cards. If the Common deck runs out shuffle the discard and draw from it.

376

REALM PHASE Each of your Realms in Play generates 1 Gold. Use coins to represent Gold. Gold can be saved from turn to turn.

RECRUIT PHASE You may put exactly one Realm (Country) card from your hand into play. You may put Lords and Armies into play. Lords & Armies have a Gold cost = to their Force to put into play. Army cards must be attached to a Lord. Attached Armies are referred to as Allies. A Lord is free if you already have his Realm in play.

EVENT PHASE Certain Action cards can be played in this Phase. You must have a Priest, Wizard, or Awnsheghlein in play to play a Spell card.

ATTACK PHASE You may attack with none, some, or all of your Lords. If unblocked your opponent must discard 3 Realm cards from the top of his deck. If the opponent has no cards left in his Realm deck, discard one of his Realms in play. The Defending Player may Block attacks. For a given attack the defender may choose one of his Lords to block it. A Lord that attacked last turn cannot be used to block. Each Lord has a base Force value. This Force value is modified by Attached Armies and Action cards. Compare the Modified Forces of the Attacking & Blocking Lord. The Lord with the Higher Modified Force Wins the Battle. The Lower Force Lord and all attached cards are discarded. The winning Lord must discard one attached Army (if it has any) at end of turn. The Defender wins ties.

BLITZ INTRODUCTION Card game. Simulates the Battle of Britain. July-September 1940

CARDS Players will have to make their own sets of cards. The RAF and Luftwaffe have their own unique decks. The Germans also need 20 tokens to represent bomb damage. On the Deck lists, # = number of that card in the deck. Both decks have 62 cards. Notice that most cards have a force value. Card sets are included at the bottom of the page.

SET UP Shuffle both decks. The RAF player draws 4 cards. The Luftwaffe player draws 4 cards.

TURN SEQUENCE Draw Phase Raid Phase Bombing Phase Discard Phase

DRAW PHASE Both players draw 2 cards from their respective decks.

RAID PHASE The German player may decide not to attack. If so, the turn ends. If he attacks the German and British players take turns playing cards face up from their hands. The German goes first. His first card in a raid must be a bomber. This continues until both players have no more cards they want to play. Each player can use only one force multiplier card per raid (Night Raid, Radar…) The German player adds up the force value of all of his cards and multiplies by 2 if a Night Raid card is used. This number is the Total Luftwaffe Force Value. All cards used in the Attack are discarded. The British player adds up the force value of all of his cards and multiplies by 2 if an Early warning radar card is used. This number is the Total British Force Value. All cards used in the Defense are discarded. The higher force total is the winner.

BOMBING PHASE If the RAF had a higher force total in raid phase then skip this phase. Notice that German bombers have a bomb value in addition to a force value.

382

If the Luftwaffe had a higher force total, then bomb damage is dealt to the British player equal to the total bomb value of all bombers in the attack. The British player may play barrage balloons in this phase to negate 1 dive bomber per balloon. The British player may play repair cards in this phase to negate 1 point of bomb damage per repair card.

DISCARD PHASE If a player has more than 8 cards he must discard the excess. Players may also discard any cards they don't want.

LUFTWAFFE VICTORY If the Germans accumulate 20 points of bombing damage then they win. Hitler decides to go ahead with operation Sealion.

BRITISH VICTORY If the German player goes to draw a card and there are no cards left in his deck the British win. Hitler postpones operation Sealion indefinitely.

BORDERKEEP INTRODUCTION Multiplayer card game or Solo rules. Each player controls a small town in a fantasy setting. Every turn players build structures and hire heroes to defend their town. Some cards are used to send monsters and disasters to destroy your opponent’s towns.

THE DECK The deck has 75 cards. These will have to be constructed before play is possible.

SETUP Six sided dice (D6) are needed. Roll high on 1D6 to determine turn order. Players start with a hand of 7 cards. Each player starts with 30 gold. Each player starts with 1 guard token. Each players town starts with a castle with 4 walls, and an income = 3 gold. Gold can be used to substitute for any other commodity on a one to one basis.

OBJECT Have the most defenders and structures at the end of the game. Each defender and structure is worth 1 victory point. The game ends when the last card is drawn from the deck. In a multiplayer game, the game ends if all but one player’s town is destroyed.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 5 phases: 1. Draw Phase 2. Upkeep Phase 3. Production Phase 4. Build Phase 5. Attack Phase 6. Heal Phase

THE GOLDEN RULE In all situations, Gold can be used to substitute for any other commodity on a one to one basis. For example: You may have to pay an upkeep of 1 magic. You can substitute 1 gold instead.

DRAW PHASE Draw one card. Max hand size = 7. Discard excess cards. Pay 7 magic to draw an extra card.

402

If you bought the card discard it if it is a disaster or attack card.

UPKEEP PHASE All defenders have an upkeep = 1 food or weapon. Heroes have an additional upkeep of 1 magic. Some buildings have an upkeep in their card description. If the upkeep is not paid the card is discarded.

REVENUE PHASE Collect revenue from all structures and defenders that produce revenue. Revenue comes in different forms: Gold, food, magic, etc. Keep tract of each form of revenue.

BUILD PHASE Put structures and defenders into play by paying their cost. Defenders must be paid for in food and/or weapons. Magical defenders can also be paid for with magic. Structures must be paid for in wood or stone. Magical structures can also be paid for with magic. Artifacts must be paid for in magic.

ATTACK PHASE Players cannot play attack cards until turn 3. Attack cards include Disasters & Monsters. Play one Attack card on the opponent to your left. If you have more than one attack card, you may play the additional card on the next player, and so on. Resolve disasters according to the card text. Resolution of battles with monsters may take several segments. The monster and all defenders attack once during the segment. Attack order is determined by each cards initiative. Initiative = 10 attacks before Init = 9, and so on. All cards of the same initiative level attack simultaneously. An attacking card rolls a number of six sided dice equal to its Attack Dice (AD). Each roll of 1 causes the other side to lose 1 hit. The attacker decides where hits are inflicted. Each card has a number of hits. If this hit total is reduced to 0 the unit is destroyed. The monster will keep attacking until destroyed. If the monster destroys all the defenders, the monster is discarded and the defender must discard 1D6 structures. If there are no structures left, then castle walls are destroyed. If all a players castle walls are destroyed, the player is eliminated. Some units have Spells. Roll on the spell table at the beginning of each segment to see what spell the unit can cast.

HEAL PHASE All surviving defenders recover all lost hits. Walls may be rebuilt for 3 stone or wood each. Defender & Structure cards destroyed this turn may be put back in your hand for 2 magic each. Summoned minions are destroyed. Destroyed guard tokens are returned to play for free.

403

THE GUARD TOKEN Each player starts the game with one. The guard is a non-hero defender. The guard has initiative = 2, Attack Dice =2, and Hits = 2. The guard has no upkeep.

BOXER REBELLION

410

INTRODUCTION Historical War game for 4 players. Hex-map, unit counters, dice, random deployment of common enemy, race for victory conditions.

PLAYERS Each player takes control of one of the 4 foreign armies: The British (Including Indian troops) The Russians The Japanese The Americans (Including German & Italian troops)

BACKGROUND For a historical synopsis of the Boxer Rebellion please visit this Website

THE MAP Use a large hex map (25 x 25 minimum). The map is of Peking, the capital of China. There are 4 terrain types: 1. Rural 2. City (Including buildings and roads) 3. Imperial Palace (Forbidden City, home of the Dowager Empress) 4. Legation (Embassy) neighborhood (Where all the Diplomats and Foreign Nationals live) There are also walls: Walls border hexes. Walls must be breached in order for units to pass. The city is surrounded by walls. 4 hexes in the center of the city are the Imperial Palace. They are surrounded by walls. A wall (The Tartar Wall) divides the city into North & South sides. Next to the Forbidden city on the North side of the Tartar Wall is the 4 adjacent hexes of the legation. The Legation is partially surrounded by walls. Each Foreign army must travel at least 10 hexes to get to the Legation neighborhood. The hexes outside the city are rural.

COUNTERS Each counter represents 500 men or a battery of 10 cannons.

SETUP Each foreign army starts along the border hexes on a different side of the map. The British start on the North Side. The Russians start on the West Side. The Japanese start on the East Side. The Americans start on the South Side. The Russians get the first turn. The Forbidden city is occupied by Ching Imperial Army units.

VICTORY When all 4 Legation hexes are occupied by Foreign army units, the game is over. The foreign nationals are rescued.

If one player occupies all 4 hexes, it is a total victory for that player. If different players occupy different legation hexes, it is a shared victory.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 5 phases: Rally Phase Artillery Phase Breach Phase Rebel Phase Action Phase

RALLY PHASE Roll once for each of your suppressed units: 1D10 Result: 1-4 Remove all Suppression counters 5-7 Remove one Suppression counter 8-9 Unit pinned. Remove no counters 10 Rout: Unit retreats 1 hex if possible. Remove no counters

ARTILLERY PHASE Each Artillery unit can attack one Chinese unit up to 3 hexes away. Roll 1D10: 1D10 Result: 1-5 Target Unit destroyed 6 Artillery unit out of Ammo for rest of game. 7-8 Target Unit Suppressed 9-10+ Target Unit unaffected Add +1 to the roll if attacking Ching units. No modification if attacking Boxer units. Add +1 to the roll if attacking a unit 2 hexes away. Add +2 to the roll if attacking a unit 3 hexes away. No modification if attacking adjacent units. Add +1 to the roll if attacking a unit behind a wall. Suppressed artillery cannot attack. Artillery cannot attack unscouted hexes.

BREACH PHASE Units can attempt to breach a wall (one hex face of wall). 1D10 Result: 1-5 Wall unaffected. 6-10 Wall Breached. Add +2 to roll if the unit is artillery. Place a Breach marker next to the breached wall. Suppressed units may not attempt to breach.

Roll 1D10:

REBEL PHASE Roll once for every Chinese unit that you want to activate: 1D10 Result 1-3 The unit is activated 4-10 The unit does not act this turn. If the activated unit has a suppression marker, its action will be to remove it. An activated unit can freely be moved one hex, or it can attack: A Chinese artillery unit will fire at the closest foreign unit of the active players choice up to 2 hexes away. A Boxer or Ching army unit will attack an adjacent foreign unit of the active players choice.

412

See the combat rules if the Chinese are made to attack.

SCOUT RULE Every time a foreign unit moves you must scout the surrounding adjacent unscouted hexes. All city hexes start the game as unscouted (Unknown, unexplored) Once a hex is scouted, it remains scouted for the rest of the game. To scout, draw one random counter from the Rebellion Draw Pile and place it in the hex being scouted. The Rebellion Draw Pile contains the counter types listed in the Chinese Counter List. When a Chinese unit is destroyed, it is set aside in a discard pile. If the draw pile ever runs out, draw from the discard pile.

ACTION PHASE Artillery units that attacked or breached cannot move this turn. No units may stack. Only one unit per space. In order to move a Foreign unit must roll 1D10: 1D10 Result: 1-2 Unit fails to move. (Lack of communication, confusion, snipers, skirmishes) 3-7 Unit can move one space 8-10+ Unit can move 2 spaces. Artillery units get –1 to the roll. (Heavy, difficult to move in cities) Japanese Troops get –1 to the roll. (They are too busy killing Chinese to move) Americans get +1 to the roll. (They have a tendency to rush in) Suppressed units cannot move. A unit gets -1 to its roll if it tries to move past an opposing foreign (shooting each other in the back) or chinese unit. Units may not enter hexes containing ‘Impassable Area’ counters. If a unit tries to enter a hex occupied by a Ching or Boxer unit it must stop and fight it (See Combat rules). A unit cannot move after fighting. After a unit moves it scouts all adjacent hexes (See Scout rules) A unit can only move into a hex that has been scouted. Units cannot move through an unbreached wall. Reserve Rule: An adjacent suppressed unit and a 'healthy unit' of the active player may automatically trade places. This counts as their moves for the turn.

COMBAT RULES If an army unit tries to enter the same space as a Ching or Boxer unit roll 1D10: 1D10 Result: 1-5 The Chinese army is destroyed 6-8 The Chinese army is suppressed 9-10 The Chinese army is unaffected Add +1 to the roll if attacking a Ching Unit. Add –1 to the roll for each suppression marker on the Chinese unit. Next roll 1D10 again: 1D10 Result: 1-7 The Foreign army is unaffected 8-10 The Foreign army is suppressed 11+ The Foreign army is destroyed Add +1 to the roll for each suppression marker on the Foreign unit. Add +1 to the roll if attacking a Ching Artillery Unit. If the Foreign unit is unaffected and the Chinese unit is destroyed the foreign unit may enter the hex. If a unit becomes Suppressed, put a Suppression marker under it. Foreign armies never directly attack each other.

VICTORY A player automatically wins if he ever controls all 5 regions at the same time. The player who controls the most regions at the end of turn 9 is the winner.

SETUP The British player is in control of Egypt. Neither player controls the other 4 regions. Players use tokens to mark which regions they control.

TURN SEQUENCE Each turn has 5 phases: Logistics Phase Relief Phase Deploy Phase Travel Phase Conflict Phase

LOGISTICS PHASE Each player fills their hand to 7 cards from their own deck. If the deck runs out shuffle the discard and draw from it.

RELIEF PHASE You may discard up to 4 cards and draw replacements.

DEPLOY PHASE 415

Players roll high on 1D6 to see who deploys last. Players take unit cards from their hands and place them onto the regions face down. You must deploy like units with like units if possible. When both players have deployed the cards are revealed. The British may only Deploy to Egypt and North. The Dervishes may deploy to all regions except Egypt.

TRAVEL PHASE Players roll high on 1D6 to see who moves last. Players may move 1D6 Unit cards from one adjacent region to another. The British player may move additional Unit cards if he plays a Movement card. Boats & Cavalry may move automatically for free. Boats may never be in West. North is adjacent to South and Egypt. South is adjacent to North, East, and West.

UNIT LIMITS A Region may have only one Leader. A Region may have only one Flag.

CONFLICT PHASE Resolve conflicts for all 5 regions in turn. Players add up the force total of all their units in a region. If the Mahdists have Shock, Cavalry, Artillery, and Rifle units in the same region they get a force bonus of +5. If the British have Infantry, Cavalry, Artillery, and Maxim units in the same region they get a force bonus of +5. Players may then play cards from their hands to increase their force totals. A player may play only one Tactics card. If the player controls the region he may not play an Attack Tactics card. If the player does not control the region he may not play a Defense Tactics card. The player with the highest Force total has the Advantage. Roll on the Conflict Table:

CONFLICT TABLE 1D6 Result: 1-2 The side with the Advantage loses one unit. Roll again 3-5 The side without the Advantage loses one unit. Roll again 6 The side with the Advantage gains control of the region. Stop rolling. If you roll a 6 the conflict in that region is over for the turn. Units stay in play from turn to turn. Destroyed units are discarded. Tactics cards remain in effect until the conflict in the region is over. Tactics cards are discarded at the end of the conflict in that region.

CABAL

INTRODUCTION Card & Dice game for 2+ players Each Player controls a Cabal of Mages. Source Material... "Mage: The Ascension" RPG by White Wolf.

DISCLAIMER Mage The Ascension is a copyrighted property of White Wolf. This is merely a Fan site.

VICTORY To 1. 2. 3.

win One You All

you must complete the following: or more of your Mages must ascend to the 10th Level (Oracle). must establish a Chantry (control one or more Nodes). Foes in your Territory must be at level 5 or less.

STUFF 10 & 6 sided dice are needed to play. There are 4 Common Decks: Mage, Spell, Attribute, and Foe Decks. A player keeps two hands of cards simultaneously: a Foe Hand and a Spell Hand. Tokens (Markers) are needed to keep tract of: Wounds, Experience, Talismans, Transformations, and Conversions. Paper & Pencil to keep track of Foes & Foe Levels.

NODES Nodes are All nodes Note that Nodes are

SETUP 442

represented by a seperate set of generic "Node cards". are considered to have similar properties. you do not start with a Node in play but you must control one to win. discovered (put into play) in Research Phase.

Roll high on 1D10 to see who goes first. Each player starts with a cabal of 4 Mages. Draw 4 mages from the Mage Deck. Each starting Mage is at level 1. Put a +1 skill Token on each Mage. Each cabal occupies its own territory. A territory will also be occupied by Foes. Roll 1D6 for each of the ten types of foes to get their Foe Level:

FOE TABLE 1D10 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Foe Type: Technomancers Inquisition Vampires Werewolves Mages Marauders Wraiths Umbral Denizens Nephandi Fey

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 6 phases: Antagonist Phase Quintessence Phase Incursion Phase Attack Phase Raid Phase Research Phase

ANTAGONIST PHASE Draw one card from the Foe Deck. Max Foe hand size = 10 cards. Discard excess cards.

QUINTESSENCE PHASE Fill your spell hand to its maximum size. Spell hand Max size = 4 with the following modifiers: +1 If any of your Mages are level 3+ +1 If any of your Mages are level 6+ +1 If any of your Mages are level 9+ +1 If your Cabal has 8+ Mages +1 If your Cabal has 12+ Mages +1 For each Node you control -1 If any of your Mages is experiencing ‘Quiet’.

INCURSION PHASE Roll for a random Foe on the Foe Table. That foe gains 1D6 Foe points.

ATTACK PHASE If any Foe has 11+ Foe points, and gained Foe points this turn, then that Foe will attack your Cabal.

443

The Attacking Foe will have a Force = to its Level +1D10. Any other player may play matching Foe cards to increase the Foe Force Total by +1D6 per card played. For a Foe card to match it must be of the same type as the attacking foe. For example: The Technomancers are attacking. Your opponent may play a Men in Black Foe card if he has one, because MIB are Technomancers. The Cabal has a Force = to the combined Skill level of all its non-neutralized Mages divided by 5 rounding up +1D10. The Cabal player must play a Detect Spell card. If a Detect card is not played, the Foe gets an extra +1D10 Force for surprise. The Cabal player may play Attack Spell cards to increase the Cabals Force Total by +1D6 per card played. Instead of Fighting, the Mages may flee combat by playing a Transport Spell. Compare the Force totals of the Cabal and the Foes. The side with the higher Total is the winner. If the Cabal wins, the Foe Total is reduced to 1D10. If the Foes win, the Cabal loses one of its Nodes. Put a ‘Captured’ Token on the Node. Those Foes now guard that Node. Roll for Wounds & Experience:

WOUNDS After any combat randomly assign 1D6-1 wound tokens to your Mages. Play a Defense Spell card to negate a wound. Any mage that takes 2 or more wounds must (remove the Wound Tokens and) roll on the Aggravated Wound Table:

AGGRAVATED WOUND TABLE 1D6 Result: 1-2 Mage is Killed 3-4 Mage is Transformed 5 Mage is Converted 6 Mage is Captured If Killed place the card back in the Mage deck. If Transformed, place a Transformation Token on the Mage card. (Transformed = Mutated, turned to stone, paralyzed, cursed, insane, crippled, turned into animal or monster, withered, blinded, burned, poisoned, etc.) If Captured, place a Captured Token on the Mage card. Also note which Foe captured the Mage. If Converted, place a Converted Token on the Mage Card. Note which Foe Converted the Mage. The Converted Mage will be part of all future conflicts with that that Foe, on the Foes side, and will add his level to the Foes Force.

EXPERIENCE Roll 1D6 for each Mage that takes part in a Combat (Win, loose, or escape). On a roll of 4-6 the Mage gains one Level. (The Experience Roll) Roll Modifiers: +1 if you lost, -1 if you won. (You always learn more from your mistakes) Add a +1 Experience Level Token to the Mage card.

NEUTRALIZED MAGES Neutralized Mages include Mages that are: Captured, Wounded, Transformed, or Experiencing “Quiet” (Quiet = Mage cannot properly perceive or interact with reality) Neutralized Mages cannot fight, raid, train, cast spells, etc.

CASTING SPELLS & USING ATTRIBUTES 444

To play a Spell card you must have a Mage that can cast the Spell. Each Spell lists what kind of Mage can cast it. For example: You would need a Mage of the Akashic Brotherhood to cast the ‘Dim Mak’ Spell. In all cases where it says you may cast a spell you may play an Attribute card in addition or instead. For instance: Instead of playing a Detect Spell you play a Detect Attribute. Spell & Attribute cards are discarded when they are played. Note: Spell cards are kept in your hand, Attribute cards are attached to Mages.

RAID PHASE Skip this Phase if you were attacked in Attack Phase. Choose which Mages are going on the Raid. Choose the Target of your Attack. The Target may be a captured or newly found Node or one of your 10 Foes. You must play a Detect Spell to find the Target. Then you must play a Transport Spell to get to the Target. Combat is resolved as in Attack Phase. If the Foes win, the Cabal does not lose a Node. (like in Attack Phase) If the Foes win, the Foe level is reduced by 1D6-1 levels. If the Cabal was raiding a Foe or captured Node and wins, the Foe Total is reduced 2D6 levels. (0 Minimum) If the Cabal was raiding a captured node and they win, they gain control of the node. If the Cabal was raiding a new node and they win, they gain control of the node and all Guardians are destroyed. If the Target had any captured Mages and the Cabal won, the Captured Mages are freed. If the Target had any converted Mages and the Cabal won, roll 1D6: 1-2 = The Mage is Killed 3-4 = The Mage lives and is still a Foe (& gains one Level) 5-6 = The Mage is converted back and rejoins the Cabal Raiding is considered Combat, like in Attack Phase (Roll for Wounds & Experience)

RESEARCH PHASE If you did not get attacked or go on a raid this turn, roll once on the Research Table.

RESEARCH TABLE 1D6 Result 1-2 Recruit 3-4 Attribute 5 Quiet 6 Find a Node 7 Training 8-9 Healing 10 Pick one Recruit = Draw one Mage card from the deck. The newly awakened mage starts at level one. Mage cards you control are placed face up in front of you. Quiet = Place a Quiet Token on one random Mage. Attribute = Draw an Attribute card and place it on one random Mage. Find a Node = Place a Node Card in Play in front of you. Roll on the Foe Table to see what kind of Foe is guarding it. The Node will have 1D10 worth of Foe Points guarding it. Note: A Territory will have a maximum of 1D6 Nodes. Training = Each of your Mages makes an Experience roll at –1. Healing = Remove a Wound, Transformation or Quiet Token from one of your Mages.

PARADOX You may play a Paradox card on any opponents Mage that just cast a Spell.

CANNONADE INTRODUCTION Napoleonic era tactical combat simulation. Watch out for grapeshot.

MAP Use a Hex map. Incorporate the 4 Terrain Types.

CHITS Use cardboard counters or chits marked in denominations of 1, 5, 10, & 20 Men Label them ‘I' for Infantry, and ‘C' for Cavalry Label Cannons with an ‘A' to denote Artillery Label ‘R' chits to mark Routing Formations Label ‘P' chits to mark groups of Prisoners Label ‘F' for Flag & ‘B' for Baggage

SETUP Set Piece Battle. Each side begins with 100 points worth of units. Units start at opposite ends of the map, or according to the scenario. Flip a coin to determine Turn Order.

VICTORY Earn Victory points as follows: ACCOMPLISHMENT Man Killed Man Captured Officer Killed Officer Captured Cannon Captured Baggage Captured Flag Captured UNITS COST MOVE Infantry 1 1 Cavalry 1.5 2 Cannon 10 (1) Flags 0 0-2 Officer 3 2 Baggage 2 1

POINTS 1 2 3 5 10 5 20

NOTES Range = 5 For games of capture the Flag Supply Wagons

TURN SEQUENCE 1-Cannonade Phase 2-March Phase 3-Melee Phase 4-Rally Phase

1- CANNONADE PHASE A minimum of 4 men must be present to move or fire the cannon. Cannons can fire at formations up to 6 Hexes away.

451

Base Casualties inflicted = 1D6 modified by the following list.

CANNON ATTACK MODIFIER LIST CASUALTIES MODIFIER -1 Indirect fire over friendly troops or terrain that is not clear -2 Troop Density = 1-5 -1 Troop Density = 6-10 +1 Troop Density = 16-20 +1 Range = 1 -1 Range = 4 -2 Range = 5 -3 Range = 6 -1 Target in Covered Terrain -2 Target in Fortified Terrain A natural roll of 6 always results in at least 1 casualty. Firing over friendly troops causes 1D6 casualties to them on a roll of 1-2 on 1D6.

TERRAIN Cannons can fire into or out of covered or fortified terrain but not through it. A cannon may use indirect fire to hit a target behind covered or fortified terrain. A Cavalry unit must spend its entire move to enter a covered or fortified terrain. Covered Defending Soldiers have their numerical strength in Melee increased by half. Fortified Defending Soldiers have their numerical strength in Melee doubled. Units may not enter Impassable terrain. The Cover column indicates the reduction in casualties caused by cannons. TYPES COVER NOTES Clear No Fields, Roads, Bridge Covered Yes Trees, Buildings, Boccage, low walls Fortified Yes Forts, Trenches Impassable --Water, River, Mountains

FORMATIONS A Formation occupies a single hex. A hex may contain up to: 20 Men, or 1 Cannon or Baggage & 10 men, and Any number of Officers, Routing men, prisoners.

2-MARCH PHASE A cannon that fired this turn may not move, nor may the men who fired it. Formations may join or split to make larger or smaller formations. The capturing player controls the movement of prisoners. Prisoners and routing Formation move one space per turn.

3-MELEE PHASE Melee occurs when a formation attacks an adjacent enemy formation. Men that fired a cannon this turn cannot attack. Two or more formations may attack the same target formation. A smaller force will not attack a larger force unless an officer is present. A Formation may only be attacked once in a players Melee turn. A Formation only gets to attack once in a players Melee turn.

452

Compare the number of Men on both sides to get a Ratio. Roll D6 and cross index with the ratio on the Melee Result Table to determine who wins the Melee. Next Roll on the Casualty result Table to determine the Fate of the losers.

Move the routers immediately 5-6 Slaughter Winner suffers men killed = to half the men in the smaller force; All men on losing side killed Use chits to indicate groups of Prisoners & Routers.

FREE ADVANCE The winner of a melee must immediately move half or more of his men into the hex of the side that lost. They cannot move more than 10 if the space has a cannon or baggage. The advancing men now capture any prisoners and/or cannon or baggage in the hex. Routers leave behind their cannon and baggage.

4-RALLY PHASE If their escort is killed, the prisoners escape and may move as normal. They are unarmed. If an enemy Formation enters a hex containing unarmed men, the unarmed men become prisoners. Prisoners cannot be killed by Cannons or Melee. A Routing Formation must move. Routers are moved by the Enemy player. Routing Formations will move away from enemy Formations. Routing Formations will move towards the edge of the board, failing that they will move towards friendly units. Formations that move off the Map are lost. If an enemy Formation enters a hex containing routers, the routers become prisoners. If a friendly Formation is adjacent to routers roll on the Rally Table.

453

RALLY TABLE D6 RESULT 1-2 The Formation is rallied and may move as normal. They are unarmed. 3-4 The Formation continues to flee. 5-6 The friendly Formation panics and routs itself. Add 1 to the roll if the routing Formation is twice as large as the friendly Formation. Subtract 1 from the roll if the friendly Formation is twice as large as the routing Formation. Subtract 1 to the roll if an officer is present.

OFFICERS Only one commanding officer per formation. The officer is always the last man killed in a formation.

BAGGAGE An unarmed man must move adjacent to a baggage unit to rearm himself. A Cannon must be within 4 hexes of a baggage unit, or it will run out of ammo in 3 turns. If an enemy Formation enters a hex containing baggage, they capture the baggage.

CARAVAN INTRODUCTION Players control Arabian caravans going back and forth across the deserts, acting as Middlemen between Europe and the Orient.

THE BOARD Use a chessboard: 8 x 8 square grid. Number the rows 1 through 8. Row 1 is Europe. Row 8 is the Orient. Rows 2-7 are the Middle Eastern rows.

DICE Use an eight sided die as a randomizer.

BOARD SETUP For each Middle Eastern row place one ‘Oasis’ marker on a random space and one ‘Quicksand’ marker on a different random space.

THE PIECES Each player gets a Pawn of a unique color to represent their caravan. One unique pawn is needed to represent the Bandits. One unique pawn is needed to represent the Sandstorm. 6 Quicksand and 6 Oasis markers are needed. Use coins to represent Gold.

THE DECK Players share a common deck.

VICTORY The first player to accumulate 50 Gold is the winner.

SETUP Roll high to determine turn order. Each player starts with 5 cards. Players pawns may choose to start in Europe or the Orient. Two Pawns may never occupy the same space. The Sandstorm and Bandits Pawns start in open spaces in the center of the board.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 5 Phases:

456

Draw Phase Buy Phase Move Phase Desert Phase Sell Phase

DRAW PHASE Discard any cards you don’t want. A player may discard 2 cards and draw 1 replacement card. Draw 3 cards and discard 1 of these cards. Max hand is 7 cards. Discard excess cards. If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it.

BUY PHASE If you are in Europe you may play up to 5 soldiers or European trade goods in your Hand to the table. This becomes your Caravan. Note that your Caravan cards are not the same as the cards in your hand. If you are in the Orient you may play up to 5 soldiers or Oriental trade goods in your Hand to the table. This becomes your Caravan.

MOVE PHASE Discard a Move card to move your pawn exactly the indicated number of spaces. Moves may be diagonal or orthogonal. You may not land on or move through other Pawns or Quicksand spaces. If you land on an Oasis, you may play another Move card and move again. If you land next to another Players Pawn, you may trade cards if you wish. All trades must be acceptable to both players.

DESERT PHASE You may move the Sandstorm or Bandit Pawns if you have the appropriate cards. They have the same movement restrictions as Caravans. The Sandstorm is merely an obstacle. If the Bandits land next to any opposing caravan pawns, those caravans must lose one soldier card or all their trade cards. (the cards on the table) You may do your Desert Phase before your Move Phase. The Bandits and Sandstorm may only go to Middle Eastern rows.

SELL PHASE If you are in Europe and you have Oriental goods in your Caravan (the cards on the table), you may turn them in for gold. An unmatched card is worth one gold. A pair earns 3 gold. (For example: two Spice cards) Three of a kind garners 5 gold. Four of a kind gets you 7 gold. Five of a kind cashes in at 9 gold. If you are in the Orient and you have European goods in your Caravan (the cards on the table), you may turn them in for Gold in the same manner.

CARDS OF WAR RULES Shuffle the cards. There is one common deck and one discard pile. One player is the Axis, the other is the Allies. Each player starts the game with 3 territory tokens. Play proceeds in a series of rounds. At the beginning of a round each player gets dealt 10 cards. During the round players take turns deploying one card at a time. The Allies go first. A deployed card is played face up on the table. The turns continue until all cards have been deployed. Each card has a force value. The side at the end of the round with the highest Force total on the table wins the round. Each card is of one or more types. The types include: Infantry, Intelligence, Sea, Sub, Air, Tank, Artillery, Mine, and Fortification. Some cards have the KILL ability, followed by what type of cards they can kill. When deployed a kill card causes an enemy card of a type it can destroy to be discarded. If there are no targets then the opportunity to cause a discard is wasted. Discarded cards do not count towards a players force total. Some cards have other abilities which are conducted as soon as the card is deployed. The winner of a round takes a territory token from his opponent. The first player in possession of all six tokens wins the game. If you run out of cards shuffle the discards back into the deck.

CARRIERS INTRODUCTION Board & card game for 2 players. World War Naval/Air II theme. Abstract Fleet & Squadron level combat. Each figure represents a group of Ships or Planes.

VICTORY You win if you destroy your opponent’s carriers.

BOARD, CARD & COUNTER SET AVAILABLE Thanks to the talented Janne Thörne: Click here for Gameset

THE MAP Use an 8x8 chessboard.

THE SHIPS Use chits or miniatures to represent units. There are 4 types of units: Carriers, Warships, Subs, and Planes. Each player starts with: 2 Carriers 4 Warships 2 Subs 8 Planes

SETUP Each player places one unit on each square of his back two rows. Units may not stack.

THE CARDS Players share a common deck. The deck contains 2 of each card listed.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 3 phases: Orders Phase Search Phase Engage Phase

ORDERS PHASE 464

Draw 3 cards. If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it. Max hand size = 5 cards. Discard excess cards.

SEARCH PHASE Play (discard) a Move card to move one of your units. The Move card must be useable by the unit. For Example: Only Planes can use the patrol card. The move card has a number. This is the number of spaces the unit moves. Moves can be diagonal or orthogonal. Boats cannot move through other boat units. “Knight” type move cards allow a man to move like a knight in chess. Instead of moving just one unit in any direction, you have the option of moving one or more units forward the indicated number of spaces using a single move card.

ENGAGE PHASE Play (discard) an Attack card to have a unit attack. The Attack card must be useable by the unit. For Example: Only Warships can use the destroyer card. The attack card has a number. This is the range of the attack. Attacks can be diagonal or orthogonal. The enemy unit that is the target of the attack is automatically destroyed and removed from the map. Your opponent may play certain Defense cards to negate your attack.

OBJECT Be the first player to control 7 castles on the map.

COUNTERS Each player has a set of chits of a unique color. Each chit set includes control markers and army markers.

THE DECK The deck contains 60 cards, 4 of each of the 15 types in the card list.

SETUP Each player starts in control of 3 castles, and has 1 army in each. Each player starts with a full hand of 7 cards Determine turn order: Each player draws one card. High siege value goes first.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 5 phases: 1. Draw Phase 2. March Phase 3. Battle Phase 4. Recruit Phase 5. Control Phase

DRAW PHASE All players fill their hands to 7 cards. If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard, and draw from it.

MARCH PHASE Only one army per hex. Armies may move 2 spaces over clear hexes. Armies may move 1 space over castle, forest & river hexes. Armies cannot move into mountain or sea hexes.

472

Discard a March card to move an army a second time.

BATTLE PHASE The active players armies may attack adjacent enemy armies. Fight one battle at a time. The active player chooses which battle to resolve next. At the beginning of all battles both players fill their hands to seven cards. If the defending army is in a castle it is a siege battle. If the defending army is not in a castle it is an open battle. Both players may play some or all of their cards. Cards have numeric values for both open & siege battles. Some cards destroy other cards in open battle. The destroyed cards are discarded simultaneously and immediately. In a siege there are some cards that can only be played by the attacker or the defender. Each side adds up the total value of all its cards to get a Battle total. In open battle defenders in forest hexes get +2 to their battle total. In open battle defenders in river hexes get –2 to their battle total. An army gets +1 to its battle total for every other friendly army adjacent to the enemy army. Compare the battle totals. The higher total wins. The defender wins ties. The losing army is destroyed. If the attacking army wins it may move into the empty hex left by the loser. All cards played are discarded.

RECRUIT PHASE You can have as many armies as you have castles under your control. If you currently have less armies than castles you may raise one new army in any one of your castles.

CONTROL PHASE On all castles that one of your armies occupy remove any control markers of your opponents and place one of your own control markers.

GAME DESIGNERS NOTES The main goal was to include most of the organelles and macromolecules found in cells. I pretty much left out Mendelian genetics, it applies only to multicellular organisms. On the other hand, I was compelled to include gametogenesis, and some developmental biology. Certain topics in biochemistry were emphasized including aspects of metabolism and molecular genetics. Examples of cards I considered but did not use include: Alleles, Dominant, Recessive, Homozygous, Heterozygous, Ectoderm, Endoderm, Mesoderm, Neurons, Neurotransmitters, Introns, Exons, Kinetochores, Centrioles, Chromatids, Mutations, Histones, Spontaneous Generation, Darwin, Scientific Method, and others that were veering too far into General Biology, Anatomy & Physiology, and Genetics. One could easily debate the removal and addition of any number of cards. I would have liked to include more, but more than 85 cards starts to push the limits of playability. Future games of this type will delve into evolution, ecology, AP, etc. In the future, some of the material in this game may be removed and be used in similar games specializing in biochemistry and genetics.

CELTIC SAGA INTRODUCTION Players take the role of Celtic Warrior Heroes in ancient Ireland. Players compete to make their Hero the most famous of all. The winner will be sung about by bards for generations and his exploits will be written of in the Book of Kells. Card game for 2-4 players.

HEROES OF OLD Some representative Heroes of the age include: Cu Chulainn, Ferghus mac Roich, and Conall Cernach.

RESOURCES Leabhar Gabhala... Book of Dinnshenchas... History of Tain Bo Cuailnge... Cattle Leabhar na h Uidre... Book These are the main Insular

Invasions Places Raid of Cooley of the Dun Cow (Irish) sources, mostly compiled in the 12th century.

VICTORY Players accumulate points in 4 value categories: 1. Blessings- Wives, true love, children, heirs, friendship, peace, home and hearth. 2. Fortune- Gold, Wealth, Riches, Kingship, Nobility. 3. Victory- Enemies defeated in battle. 4. Prophecy- Wisdom, Lore, History, Fate, Doom. The player with the most points in the most categories at the end of seven cycles wins.

THE DECK Players share a common deck. The deck contains one of each of the cards described in the card list. Note that there are 2 decks. Use one or the other. There are basically 2 versions of the game: The Ulster Deck and the Fionn Deck.

TYPES OF CARDS There are 5 types of cards: 1. Allies 2. Weapons 3. Action 4. Boons 5. Foes

DICE Six sided dice are required.

484

TOKENS Use tokens to keep track of wounds and other effects.

SETUP Shuffle the deck.

TURN SEQUENCE The game is played in seven turns or cycles. At the beginning of each Cycle all players roll high on 1D6 to determine initiative order. 3 cards are drawn from the deck for each player. All of these cards are played face up in the center of the table. In order of initiative each player takes one card. A player may choose to remove a wound token instead of drawing a card. The cycle is over when there are no cards left. If the player takes an Action card, he puts it into his hand. If the player takes an Ally, Weapon, or Boon card, he places it face up in front of him. A player automatically controls all cards he takes except for Foe cards. If a player selects a Foe card, he must battle the Foe. Roll 3D6 and add all of the Heroes Fight modifiers to the total. This is the Fight Total. The fight modifiers are found on the cards. All the cards a player controls contribute. The Hero subtracts one from his total for every wound token he has. Next roll 4D6. This is the Foe total. If the Foe total is greater than the Fight total, the Foe card is discarded and the Hero gets one wound token. If the Fight total is equal or greater, the Hero wins the battle and takes the defeated Foe card. The defeated Foe card is placed with the rest of the heroes cards. Action cards may be played immediately or whenever it is appropriate. Discarded cards go into a discard pile. When fighting player may only gain the benefit of one version of a weapon. For example he can use a spear and a chariot, but not 2 spears. Boons that adversely affect an opponent are added to that players cards.

CHAMPION CHESS INTRODUCTION Two player card game with a chess theme. One player is the Black player, the other is the white player.

THE DECKS Each player has his own deck. The Black deck and the White deck. The decks have 52 cards each. Both decks are identical. There are 2 types of cards: Noble cards and Aid Cards. A players deck is also referred to as a Battle Deck. Noble and Aid cards are mixed together in the deck. During play a player will accumulate two types of Discard Piles: The Reserve Pile, and the Defeated Pile. Discard piles are face up.

OBJECT Capture your opponents King.

TURN SEQUENCE Turns are simultaneous for both players. Draw Phase Champion Phase Aid Phase Revelation Phase Calculations Phase Resolution Phase Fate Phase End Phase

DRAW PHASE Both players fill their hands to 7 cards from their own Battle decks. If your Battle deck is empty, shuffle your Reserve pile. This becomes your new Battle Deck.

CHAMPION PHASE Each player places one Noble card from their hand down, face-up. The card so played is the Champion card. The two opposed Champions will now fight each other. This fight is also called a Challenge. If a player has no Noble cards, he must discard his entire hand into his reserve pile and draw 7 new cards. He must first show his hand to prove he has no Noble cards.

AID PHASE Each player may play 0-6 Aid cards from their hand onto their champion, face-down.

495

A champion may only use one Aid card of each type. For instance, the champion cannot use 2 swords, or ride 2 steeds. The exception to this is the Pawn card. Multiple Pawn cards may be used.

REVELATION PHASE All Aid cards are flipped over face-up.

CALCULATIONS PHASE Every card has a numerical value in three categories. The categories are: Movement, Attack, and Defense. Add up the totals in each category for each Champion. For example a Knight Champion with a Sword and 2 Pawns would have scores of: Movement = 8, Attack = 18, Defense = 10

RESOLUTION PHASE Compare the totals in each category for the two opposing Champions. A Champion with higher scores in all three categories wins the Challenge. A Champion with higher scores in two categories wins the Challenge. If they are tied in two categories, the Champion with the higher score in the third category wins the Challenge. If they tie in all categories, both Champions lose. If they tie in one category, and each Champion is superior in one of the remaining categories, then both Champions lose.

FATE PHASE All Aid cards used this turn are put into their players Defeated Piles. Winning champions are placed in their players Reserve Pile. Losing (Captured) champions are placed into their players Defeated Pile. If you lose your King, you lose the game.

END PHASE Players may discard none, some, or all of the cards in their hands into their reserve pile.

CHARGE OF THE LIGHT BRIGADE INTRODUCTION Solo Dice & Record Keeping Game. Simulation of the Charge of the Light Brigade, the final phase of battle of Balaclava in 1854.

MATERIALS Six sided Dice, Paper, Pencil.

YOUR MEN The player controls a British cavalry group of 12 men known as a ‘Troop’. All men are mounted on horses. All men are armed with a sword. One of the men is the Captain, the leader of the troop. Another man is the Trumpeter. The other 10 men are referred to as riders. There are 3 types of Troops: Dragoons, Hussars, and Lancers. Pick which type you want your troop to be.

ROOSTER Write the name of each of your men. Each man has 1 skill. Roll on the skill table and record it. The Captain has 3 skills: Riding, Horsemanship, and Fighting. The Captain is never killed. Treat all kill results as wounds. Other info that will be recorded as the game proceeds include: Wounds sustained by each man. The space (Location) each man occupies. The morale of each man. Spur points on each mans horse.

SKILL TABLE 1D6 Skill Type: Notes: 1Riding +1 to Evade Rolls 2 Horsemanship +1 to Spur Rolls 3 Steadfast +1 to Morale Rolls 4 Steadfast +1 to Morale Rolls 5 Fighting +1 to Fight Rolls 6+ Tough +1 to Kill Rolls Dragoons get a –1 modifier to the roll. Hussars get a +1 modifier to the roll. Roll modifiers only apply to that man.

GAME LENGTH Your Troop will have to traverse 20 ‘spaces’ before mixing in with the Russian Gun Battery. Once any of your men reach the battery, there will be 5 turns of Melee. After this, your troop must turn around and return 20 spaces the way it came. Draw a row of boxes 20 spaces long. Use this to record the location of your troop.

498

TURN SEQUENCE 1. Movement or Melee Phase 2. Morale Phase 3. Rally Phase

MOVEMENT PHASE All of your men attempt to move forward one space every turn not in Melee: Roll on the Encounter Table for each man. If the encounter indicates Flat, the man automatically moves forward one space. If there is an obstacle, roll on the appropriate table to see what type it is. Roll 1D6. (The Evade Roll) If this is equal to or greater than the obstacle value move the man forward one space. If it is less, the rider does not move forward and suffers a wound on a roll of 1-2 on 1D6. If it is a Fire Encounter, roll 1D6. If this is equal to or less than the Hit value the man is hit. If the man is hit roll 1D6. (The Kill Roll) If this is equal to or less than the Kill value the man is killed. (Killed also including seriously wounded or having a horse shot out from under you) If hit but not killed, the man is wounded. If not killed by the fire the man automatically moves forward one space

SPURRING You may have a man spur his horse. A Horse can only be spurred once per turn. The rider gains 1 Spur point. (The horse goes from a trot to a gallop.) This allows a man to: 1. Move a second time this turn. (Repeat the Movement Phase) 2. Get +2 to an Evade or Fight roll Roll 2D6 (The Spur Roll) If this is less than the riders Spur point total the horse is blown. A Blown horse cannot be Spurred and gets –1 to all evade rolls. If a man on a blown horse ever encounters a riderless horse, he may switch horses. The ‘new’ horse will have 1D6 Spur points.

MORALE PHASE If any of your men were killed this turn roll 1D6 individually for all your other men. (These are Morale rolls) On a roll of 1-2 on 1D6 the man fails the morale test and must roll on the Break Table If the roll is 3+ the man maintains Good Morale.

BREAK TABLE 1D6 1-3 4-5 6

Result: Hurried Hesitates Retreats

Notes: The man will spur next turn to move an extra space forward The man will not move forward next turn unless he spurs The man turns tail and flees the field

RALLY PHASE The Captain may attempt to rally either all Hurried or all Hesitant or all Retreating men in the troop. Roll 1D6 (The Rally Roll): On a roll of 4-6 the target men are rallied and

499

do not suffer the Results of the Break Table. Add one to the roll if the Trumpeter is still alive and in the same space as the Captain.

MELEE If a man is in the Battery (Space 20) he rolls on the Melee Table instead of the Encounter Table. Roll 1D6. (The Fight Roll): If this is equal to or greater than the Fight value of the opponent, the Russian is killed. If it is less, the rider rolls 1D6 (Kill Roll): The Rider suffers a wound on a roll of 1-3. On 4-6 the rider is killed.

FRONT RANK OPTION At the beginning of the game you may choose to have your troop be in the front rank of the Charge. If so, during the approach treat all Man Obstacle Encounters as Flat. In spaces 15-19, treat Flat & Level rolls as Cannon Fire.

STRAGGLERS On the way back any encounters with wounded men add 1 wounded rider to your troop.

SCORING Get 2 points for every man that makes it back alive. Get 1 point for every Russian killed during the Melee.

HISTORY Of the 673 men who went into action 113 were killed and 247 badly wounded.

ADDITIONAL MATERIAL by Ron Pehr Started playing this last night. Realizing that continual dice rolling is what happens in a solo game, I have to say it got a bit laborious to do exactly the same rolls twelve times each turn (until, of course, you start losing troopers). Rather than marking position on the card for each man, I laid them out next to numbered pieces of paper (could use chits or dice) indicating what space they were on, as the troop is seldom broken far apart. Thus, if most of the troop is at, say, "4" there'll be stragglers at "3" maybe "2" and the hard-chargers at "5" so you don't actually have to lay out all 20. Alternately, could do that, have a sort of board marked out in 20 spaces and put the cards for each trooper in whatever space he's reached. Here are the cards I made for the captain and the troopers. You put

501

check marks on the lines for the status, in pencil so it can be erased and re-used.

CAPTAIN: Name: Skills: Riding (+1 evade) Horsemanship (+1 spur) Fighting (+1 fight) Wounds: one (-1 rally)___ two (-1 morale, -1 evade)___ three+(-1 fight)____ Morale: Hurried (must spur next turn)___ Hesitate (spur or don’t move next turn)___ Retreat ___ Spur Points:___

TROOPER: Name: Skills: Riding (+1 evade)__ Horsemanship (+1 spur)__ Steadfast (+1 morale)__ Fighting (+1 fight)__ Tough (+1 kill)___ Wounds: one (-1 rally)___ two (-1 morale, -1 evade)___ three+(-1 fight)____ Morale: Hurried (must spur next turn)___ Hesitate (spur or don’t move next turn)___ Retreat ___ Spur Points:___ The Trumpeter is same as a "Trooper" just label it as such. Have presumed that if Trumpeter demoralized he nevertheless adds the +1 when rallying roll made if in same space as Captain, and that the Captain similarly can rally himself.

CHRONOS > >ver 1.1 >by Gottardo Zancani ([email protected]) Chronos is a game of Time exploration for 3-5 players, inspired by Lloyd Krassner's Timeline.

Game Components Tiles (player home) >TimeWarp Tile Tiles (12 eras, 3 tiles for each era) >Leader counters (in 5 different colors) >Agent counters (in 5 different colors) >Time Portal counters (in 5 different colors) >Control counters (in 5 different colors)

The Map The Time Map is built using square tiles (8cm x 8cm is a good choice) that represents the different ears (from prehistory to the near future): every era is characterized by o o o o o o o

>TL >1 >2 >3 >4 >5 >6 >7 >8 >9 >10 >11 >12

>[TL] a numeric value (from 1 to 12) representing the abstract timeline, where 1 is the prehistory and 12 is the far future. >[VP] the number of victory point gained when the era is controlled by a player of the era to the control

>Era Name >Prehistory >Egyptian >Rome Barbarian Invasions >Crusades >Renaissance >Napoleonic Colonial Empires WWI >WWII Year 2000 Near Future

Every player also

>VP >1 >2 >3 >3 >4 >4 >5 >5 >6 >6 >7 >7

>RE >3 >4 >4 >5 >5 >6 >6 >7 >7 >8 >8 >9

controls an "House of Time" Tile: this is the start tile for all the player units; only units belonging to player that owns the House of Time can enter this Tile. The TimeWarp tiles represent point of non-continuity in the temporal flux: units cannot enter in this Tiles.

Time Controllers Every player controls three types of units: each unit has an Influence and Movement capability, represented in the counters as I/M:

>Name >Leader >Agent >Explorer

>Influence >5 >2 >*

>Movement >Max # >1 >1 >2 >4 >4 >3

The number of units is fixed: this means that you can have a max of 8 units in play. Game Setup Put all the Era and TimeWarp tiles on the TimePool: shuffle the Time Pool and deal 5 tiles to each player. Tiles are kept secret until played. Each player roll 2D6: high roll goes first and place one Era tile in the table. Until the table contains a number of tiles equal to 3 times the number of players (i.e. on a 4 player game you must have 12 played tiles) each player in turn must place one tile in the table following the Basic placement rules >Basic placement rules: A. B. C. D. E. F. G.

>Each era must be placed so that at least one side of the tile is adjacent to an era whose TimeLine [TL] value is immediately precent or successive. The other sides can be adiacent to any era without restriction (but will be usable for movement only by the Explorers see below for details). >You can always place an era adjacent to a TimeWarp.

If you cannot place any tile you can pass or discard one tile and draw another one (face up so that every one can see it): if the newly drawn tile can be played you must do it or pass. When all the needed Era/TimeWarp tiles have been placed return all unused tiles to the Time Pool. Starting with the last one every player can now place his House of Time adiacent to any Era tile. No House of Time can be adiacent to another House of Time. Each player must then place the Leader counter in his House of Time: you must then choose 3 units (agents or explorers) and place them with the Leader. Game Sequence The game proceed in game turns: the turn sequence is the following • • •

>Determine initiative >First Player segment >Second Player segment

507

• •

>… >Last Player segment

To determine the initiative each player rolls 2D6: high result goes first. During your segment you can do one of the following actions: o o o o o o

>Movement >: select any one unit; you can move it in the TimeMap of a number of eras equal or less to the unit movement capability following the TimeLine sequence. Explorers can "jump" between two adjacent Eras not in sequence if the TL difference between the two tiles is less or equal to the remaining movement points.

o o o

>Portal movement >: a unit can move from the House of Time the Time Portal.

o o o o

>Recruit >: you can place any one unit currently not in the Time Map in your House of Time. Explorers can also be placed with your Leader.

o o o o o o o o o

>Control >: one Leader or Agent can try to gain control of a non-controlled era where the counter is placed; roll a D10 adding the unit Influence value and substract the Era resistance and one point for every "enemy" unit in the era. It the result is greater than zero then the era is controlled: put a marker on the era and gain the relative Victory Points. In any case remove your units from the era (you can recruit them later); if the control attempt is successful any enemy unit in the era is also removed, otherwise the enemy units are unaffected.

>Example: >a Leader is trying to gain control of a Napoleonic Era Tile; in this tile an Explorer of another player is also present. The player rolls 1D10 and gets a result of 6: he adds 5 points for the Leader influence and subtract 7 for the Era resistance and 1 for the enemy Explorer. The final result is 6 (roll)+5(leader)-7(resistance)-1(enemy)=3 >The control attempt is successful: remove the leader and put a control marker. o o o o o o o o

>Exploration >: remove any one unit not in the House of Time to try an exploration of the Time Flux; roll 1D10: on a result of 0 the unit is lost in the Flux. With a result of 1-9 you've discovered a new temporal line: draw a tile from the Time Pool. If you can place it, following the basic placement rules, adjacent to the Era where was the agent you must do it. Otherwise you must place it in the Time Map on any legal position: discard the tile only if there is not a legal position in the Time Map.

o o o o

>Portal Creation >: you can remove a unit to create a Time Portal in any Era. The time Portal can be later used to move units from te House of Time to the era where the portal has been created.

End of the game. The game ends when a player has 22 Victory Points (15 in the Easy game).

508

>Easy-Game

Scenario The basic game include all the tiles and to win you need 22 VP. Alternatively you can use only the Era with TL 1-5: in this case you only need 15 VP to win the game. Optional rule: Change control For more warlike games you can allow a Control action on a controlled Era: in this case subtract an additional modifier of RE/2 (round fractions down) to the control dice roll to represent the actual control but allow up to units to collaborate in the control attempt (both are removed). >Variants You can easily create game variants by o o o o o o

>Creating new Eras, with different TL (higher or lower) and/or using different VP/RE values. >Create new unit types >Define a different mix for the TimePool (example: remove low TL tiles, include more "central" TL tiles to make easier the placement, increase high TL tiles).

CITY STATES INTRODUCTION War and politics in ancient Greece.

DICE Six and Ten sided dice are required.

THE BOARD Use a map of the Aegean circa 430 B.C. Divide the map into spaces, either hexagonal or irregular shaped. Make sure to include cities that existed at the time.

VICTORY Control the most city states at the end of 36 turns.

ALTERNATE FANTASTICAL BOARD Have the map be geographically inaccurate collection of islands and small land masses. Include the following city states: Athens (Athenians), Sparta (Spartans), Troy (Trojans), Archea (Archeans), Ionia (Ionians), Thebes (Thebians), Corinth (Corinthians), Thrace (Tracians), Crete (Cretans), Doria (Dorians), Amazonia (Amazonians), Macedonia (Macedonians)

TERRAIN CHART There are several types of spaces: Type Move Cost Stack Defense Notes Water (Sea) 1 4 Fleets only Clear 1 5 Farms 1 4 Fishng Villages 1 4 Fleets may dock Mountainous X X Impassable Mountain Pass 2 1 +7 Forest 2 2 +3 Swamp 2 2 -2 Hills 2 3 +4 Cities 2 4 +5 Fleets may dock Sandy Coast 1 4 Fleets may beach Rocky Coast 2 3 -1 Move Cost = Move cost of unit to enter the space. Stack = Maximum number of Armies or fleets that may occupy the space. Defense = Modifier a Defending unit gets to its Defense roll. (Attackers do not get the modification!)

SCALES Each space = 400 square miles. Each turn is = 1 Month. An army unit is composed of 5000 men of various troop types. Most troops were heavily armed hoplites, supported by light infantry, and

510

some cavalry/chariots. A Fleet unit is composed of 25 Triremes (Each carries 170 rowers and 30 marines/officers).

SETUP Each player chooses one city on the map to be their home city. Players should not choose adjacent cities. Shuffle the deck. Each player is dealt a hand of 5 cards. Each home city starts with 2 Armies, 2 Rowers and 2 Fleets. (Or 4 Armies if landlocked) Each home city starts with a treasury containing 10 Gold. Each home city starts with 3 Leaders. Each home city starts with 6 City Traits. Roll on charts to determine Hero Traits and City Traits. Players roll high on 1D10 to determine turn order. All minor cities are considered to be neutral.

HOME CITIES Home cities have a base income = 7 Gold per turn. Home cities have Defense Modifier = +8

MINOR CITIES Any city not chosen to be a Home city is a minor city. Minor cities have a base income = 1D6 Gold per turn. Roll once at the beginning of the game. This base income is fixed for the remainder of the game. The map may have base incomes of cities written onto it.

UNITS There are 6 types of units: Armies, Rowers, Fleets, Transports, Baggage, and Leaders. Armies and Rowers have a recruitment cost of 2 gold. Armies and Rowers have an upkeep cost of 1 gold per turn each. Baggage has a recruitment cost = 1 and no upkeep. Transports has a recruitment cost = 2 and no upkeep. Fleets have a recruitment cost = 4 and no upkeep. Leaders have no recruitment cost or upkeep. Transports are merchant round ships, whereas Fleets are composed of Trireme long boats (warships).

STACKING RULES Each terrain type has a stacking limit. Stacking limits apply only to Armies, Fleets and Transports. Leaders and Baggage do not count against stacking limits. A Fleet can carry one unit of Rowers and 2 Baggage units. An Army (Not on a transport at sea) can carry up to 4 Baggage units. A Transport can carry one Army unit or 8 Baggage units. An Army or Fleet can carry any number of Leaders.

COUNTERS Use counters or chits to represent units. Each player has a set of counters of a unique color. Armies, baggage, rowers, transports, and Fleets are non-unique. Leaders are unique so each counter must be numbered or named.

511

Use counters to represent gold Additional unit status counters are necessary to identify the following conditions: Razed, Hostile, Starvation

THE DECK Players share a common deck. The deck contains one of each of the cards in the card list.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 9 phases: 1. Draw Phase 2. Revenue Phase 3. Upkeep Phase 4. Recruit Phase 5. Diplomacy Phase 6. First Move Phase 7. Sea Battle Phase 8. Land Battle Phase 9. Second Move Phase

DRAW PHASE Draw 2 cards from the deck. Maximum hand size = 7 cards. Discard excess cards. If the deck runs out shuffle the discard and draw from it.

REVENUE PHASE Collect revenue from your Home City, and all Minor cities you control. Revenue is in “Gold”. Cities under siege cannot produce revenue. A city is considered to be under siege if there is an enemy army (or rowers) or fleet adjacent to it. Hostile minor cities generate only half revenue (rounding up). Razed cities produce no income. Each city with Razed counters on it may remove 1 counter this phase.

UPKEEP PHASE An Army or Rowers must be in or adjacent to a friendly city to receive upkeep. Razed cities and Cities under siege cannot provide upkeep. Pay 1 gold to upkeep each such Army and Rowers you control. Units completely surrounded by enemy units cannot receive upkeep, but they can use baggage counters. If a unit receives upkeep or uses up a baggage counter remove any starvation counters on it. Leaders and ships do not require upkeep. If a Baggage unit is used up discard it. If a unit does not receive upkeep or baggage roll 1D6 (The upkeep roll): 1-5 Nothing. Put a starvation counter on the unit. 6+ The unit disbands or surrenders. Add 1 to the roll for every starvation counter on the unit. Subtract 1 from the roll if the unit is in farmland or fishing village terrain.

RECRUIT PHASE 512

Each city may recruit 1 Army or Rowers or Fleet or Transport. To recruit (Build) a Fleet or transport, the city must be adjacent to the sea. Each city may recruit up to 6 baggage units per turn. Newly recruited units are placed in the city space. Pay the Recruitment cost of the unit. The unit starts in the City. Each Home City state may also make one 1D10 ‘Experience Roll’ per turn. 1-9 Nothing happens 10 Gain 1 Leader 50% or Gain 1 Random City Trait 50% Razed, besieged, and hostile cities may not recruit.

DIPLOMACY PHASE Every player gets one free diplomacy roll per turn. Leader Traits, City Traits, and Cards allow additional diplomacy rolls. When making a diplomacy roll, target any hostile, neutral, or enemy controlled minor city state. Roll 1D6 (The Diplomacy Roll): 1-5 Nothing Happens 6+ Remove Hostility counter or Gain control of Neutral city state or Enemy city state revolts. Add one to the Diplomacy roll if the city is hostile. If there is a revolt, place 1D3 Rebel units in the City. They will attack any Enemy units in the city. If a city contains no enemy units and only rebel units, it becomes neutral. Discard rebel units from a neutral city. Place a control marker on any city you control.

FIRST MOVE PHASE Units have a certain number of Move points they can use per turn. Armies and Rowers can move 4 spaces on land. Leaders can move 6 spaces on land. Armies “use up” 2 movement points to enter Forest & Hill spaces. Manned Fleets can move 10 spaces by sea. Transports can move 8 spaces by sea. A Fleet requires rowers aboard to move and fight. Transports may carry rowers, but do not require them to move. Fleets and Transports can enter city, sandy, and fishing village coastal hexes. Baggage that is not carried cannot move by itself. Leaders move with Armies and Fleets or independently. Your units may not enter Neutral or enemy cities. Your units cannot enter spaces occupied by enemy Armies, Rowers, or manned Fleets. If your Armies, Rowers, or manned Fleets enter a space containing only enemy Leaders, Baggage, Transports, or unmanned Fleets you capture them. Captured Baggage & Transports change to your color. Captured Leaders may be ransomed or put to death. Units may pick up/ drop off baggage freely.

SEA BATTLE PHASE Your units at sea may attack enemy units in an adjacent sea space. You may combine the attacks of all of your units adjacent to an enemy stack. For every Fleet unit attacking roll 1D10 (Attack Roll) and add any City Trait bonuses to get the Attack Total. The opponent rolls 1D10 (Defense Roll) + bonuses for every defending Fleet in the stack to get the Defense Total. Leader Traits can modify Battle rolls. Both players may play cards to increase or modify these Battle totals. The side with the higher Battle total is the winner. The loser must roll 1D6 (Casualty Roll) for each of his Fleets/Transports in the battle:

513

1-4 the unit was destroyed/captured (And any Leaders/Armies/Rowers/Baggage onboard) 5-6 the unit retreats to an adjacent space containing no enemies (If this move is not possible the unit is destroyed) Transports with Armies get a battle roll of 1D6. Ships in coastal spaces are considered to be beached. They may be attacked this turn.

LAND BATTLE PHASE Your units may attack enemy units in an adjacent space. You may combine the attacks of all of your units adjacent to an enemy stack. For every Army unit attacking roll 1D10 (Attack Roll) and add any City Trait bonuses to get the Attack Total. The opponent rolls 1D10 (Defense Roll) + bonuses for every defending Army in the stack to get the Defense Total. Leader Traits can modify Battle rolls. Both players may play cards to increase or modify these Battle totals. The side with the higher Battle total is the winner. The loser must roll 1D6 (Casualty Roll) for each of his units in the battle: 1-4 the unit was destroyed/captured. 5-6 the unit retreats to an adjacent space containing no enemies (If this move is not possible the unit is destroyed) Rowers get a battle roll of 1D6. Cities get a Defense roll of 1D6. There is always a garrison present. (This is in addition to any armies present) Attackers get +1 to their rolls if they are attacking a hostile city. Terrain defense modifiers only apply to a unit if it is Defending. You may attack a neutral city. A neutral city will have 1 Army present. If you defeat the defending army of the neutral city immediately move an attacking unit into the city. You gain control of the captured city, but it is hostile. Put a control marker and a hostility counter on the city. If you capture a city you may also plunder it for 3D6 Gold. Put 3 Razed counters on the city. If you plunder a city you may also destroy it: Put a total of 6 Razed Counters on it. Ships in coastal spaces are considered to be beached. They may be attacked this turn.

SECOND MOVE PHASE All of your units may move again. Your Fleets and transports must end their move in city, sandy, and fishing village coastal hexes. If a Fleets or transport is unable to do this roll 1D6 (Navigation Roll): 1-4 Nothing 5-6 Storms sink the unit. Note: Beached Ships do not get terrain defense modifiers.

LEADERS For each newly recruited leader roll 1D6 (Leader Roll): 1-3 1 Skill 4-5 2 Skills 6 3 Skills Roll on the Leader skills table to determine what these skills are. Record the Leaders skills, name, and chit identification.

Classic Dungeon Crawl By Sir Gerard Luft, KDM

Introduction A Long time ago, in a part of Wisconsin far, far away… This simple card and dice miniature game is based off of the very original Dungeons and Dragons, back in the days of Chainmail and the Classic Dungeons and Dragons boxed set. If the game rules seem a bit simple and occasionally clumsy, they are supposed to be. That was the charm of the “Proto-D&D” fantasy miniature wargaming.

Components If you have miniatures, you can expand the combat listed below to include terrain and movement. But don’t make sophisticated terrain! “Proto-D&D” terrain is best if they are simply drawn images on 3”x5” cards. You will need plenty of six sided dice (d6). You will need to construct the decks listed below. There is a common deck for each of the six dungeon levels. You’ll have to reach a certain level with your character in order to advance to the next dungeon level. Use index cards as your character sheets, so that you can keep track of Gold Pieces (GP) and Experience Points (EP) earned. If you have the original Chainmail rules and the very Original Dungeons and Dragons Rules (three book, white cover set), you can add various rules to increase authenticity and depth to this game (e.g., more selection of magic items). The 1979 Edition Chainmail Medieval Miniature Rules are available for purchase as an ESD from WotC: http://store.yahoo.com/svgames-store/tsr6002esd.html The original Dungeons and Dragons rules (from the three books of the white boxed set) are available for free at: http://www.geocities.com/classicdnd/dnd.htm

Players and Characters This game can be played with 1 to 3 players. For solo play, this is a simple solitaire adventure system for “proto-D&D” fantasy miniature battles. For two to three players, it becomes a competition to survive (be warned that multiplayer games can get very lengthy; it’s best to take this game in sessions like you would a modern D&D adventure, breaking between dungeon levels). Each player choose one of the three characters provided: Fighting Man (Veteran), Magic User (Medium) or Cleric (Acolyte). For each monster you defeat, your character receives the listed gold pieces for that creature. Experience Points (EP)= GP + 10%. Each Class level has Experience Point requirements. When you meet the next level (e.g., Warrior for 2nd Level Fighting Man, Seer for 2nd Level Magic user, and Adept for 2nd Level Cleric), then you acquire the new stats listed. In addition to GP, roll 2d6 for each creature to determine if a magic weapon is present: on a roll 12 a magic item is present (Sword +1 for Fighting Man, Mace +1 for Cleric, and Dagger +1 for Magic User). Magic Weapons give a +1 to Medieval Combat and Fantasy Combat Attack Score. If you have the Classic Dungeons and Dragons rules, feel free to use the Magic Item tables to add variety to the Game.

520

The Turn For multiplayer games, players take turns taking their turn in a clockwise fashion. The player who last went serves as the next player’s referee (he rolls for the monsters). 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Draw a card from the particular dungeon level deck. Fight the Monster using the Chainmail Medieval Combat Resolution abridged version (for Dungeons Levels 1 and 2; found under the Dungeon Level 1 Section), or the Chainmail Fantasy Combat Resolution abridged version (for Dungeon levels 3 through 6; found under the Dungeon Level 3 Section). If your character dies, your out of the game (though it would be prudent to continue as referee for the other player(s)).

Dungeon Level 1 Characters: Start with Veteran, Medium or Acolyte. Your character then advances in its class according to the experience points you gain by defeating monsters and villains (1gp=1ep)

Roll 1d6 for character and monster (if the game warrants it, the player to the right of the current player may roll for the monster, acting as referee for that conflict). The highest roll wins initiative. Reroll ties. Cast Spell or Attack: The character going first rolls #d6 (#= Attack score). For each 6 rolled, subtract 1 hit from the target’s health. If the target’s health drops to 0 or less, then that character is defeated. Repeat step 2 for the

Classic Space Opera By: Sir Gerard Luft, KDM Introduction Before there was Traveller, there was Starfaring! In some circles, Starfaring, by White Buffalo Games, is named as the first science fiction role playing game. Like the legendary Chainmail/ Dungeons and Dragons Fantasy Miniature Game, the Starfaring’s rules were crude and the artwork was horrible.

Components You will need as many six-sided dice as you can and construct the card decks listed below. Like Classic Dungeon Crawl, this game tries to capture the essence of the original game, but in a manner that adapts the rules to a little more play-worthiness. Like Classic Dungeon Crawl, miniatures are highly advised to be included in this card and dice game. The original rules for Starfaring can be obtained for free at: http://www.angelfire.com/zine/gotdeleted/Starfaring.html

Goal One Player Explore intergalactic space and fight the Slish (enemy aliens)! Multiple Player Explore intergalactic space and fight the Slish (enemy aliens), and pay off your ship!

Your Ship and Crew Each Ship Master (player) starts with a ship

Scoutship Compliment Ship Master (Captain) and 9 Crew Power 3 Toughness 3

Power N/A 2 2 1 1 2 1 1 1 1

Toughness N/A 3 2 2 2 1 1 1 1 1

Power represents Physique as well as Mentality and Psionic. Toughness represents Health.

527

The Turn For multiplayer games, each Ship Master takes their turn going clockwise. The player who last took their turn serves as Galaxy Master (referee) for the current player. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Subetheric EncountersStarships in Starfaring can travel system (wormholes) and pangalactic with Warp Factors). Regardless of encounters in the Sub-Ether. Draw Deck

Cthulhu Debris Berserker Ship (extra-dimension robots out to exterminate all organic life)

Space Battle Rules- Battle is considered simultaneous. Space and time are abstract when playing out Subetheric battles with miniatures. The ships should begin 12” across from each other. Basically allow each ship to move 1”. Berserker Ships will always fly at the Starship on a direct heading. Each ship rolls 1d6 each turn. In order to score a hit, one must roll equal to or higher than the score indicated to hit. To hit scores change as ships are closer together:

Range To Hit: USS Philadelphia To Hit: Slish Saucer* or Berserker Ship 12” 5 6 10” 5 6 8” 4 6 6” 4 5 4” 3 4 2” 3 4 Nose to nose 2 3 * Slish Ships are allowed 5 Attack rolls per combat round If a ship scores a hit it inflicts its Power score as Damage. Damage is subtracted from the target ship’s Toughness score. If toughness should fall to 0 or less, that ship is destroyed. 2. 3. 4.

Normal Space Encounters- Upon returning to Normal Space, one draws a card from the Normal Space Encounter Deck.

DRAW PHASE Each player draws 2 cards. If the deck runs out shuffle the discard and draw from it. Maximum hand size is 10 cards. Discard excess cards.

UNREST PHASE A player may play a Unrest card targeting one Colonial region. The target colonial region produces no income this turn. The played unrest card is discarded. Unrest cards represent failed rebellions.

REVENUE PHASE Each player collects revenue. Revenue is measured in income units. Each empire produces a base 10 Income units. Each Colonial Resource and Industry also produces Income units. Gain 2 extra Income units if you control all the Colonial cards in one Region.

REVOLUTION PHASE A player may play a Revolution card targeting one Colonial region. Discard all Resource cards on the target colonial region. The played Revolution card is removed from the game. Revolution cards represent successful rebellions such as the American Revolution. Empires may continue to invest after the revolution.

WAR PHASE 536

A player may play a War Card. This is the Attack Leader. The attacking player picks one opponent to be the defending leader. All other players must pick a side. These are the allies. All players must bid their income into 3 categories: 1. Europe 2. Seas 3. Colonies Each player writes their bids on a piece of paper. A player must bid all of his Income units received in Revenue Phase. Players may use the Influence level of Influence cards as Income units. Include the value of Influence cards played into the written bid. Influence cards are discarded at the end of the bid after they are used. Bids are revealed simultaneously. If there is a tie, the defenders win the category. The side that wins in two categories wins the War. The wining Leader may take over control of two colonial resource cards in play from the losing leader or steal two random cards from his hand. All the wining allies may take over control of one colonial resource card in play from any one loser or steal one random card from a losers hand.

PEACE PHASE Skip this phase if a War was fought this turn. Each player makes secret bids in 5 categories: 1. Expansion 2. Raiding 3. Trade 4. Infrastructure 5. Diplomacy Each player writes their bids on a piece of paper. Bids are revealed simultaneously. A player must bid all of his Income units received in Revenue Phase. Players may not save Income units from turn to turn. If there is a tie, no one wins the category. The player who wins the Expansion category may draw an extra card from the deck. The player who wins the Raiding category forces a target player to discard a random card. The player who wins the Trade category may give any one card from his hand to another player and take any one card from that players hand. The player who wins the Infrastructure category gets an extra Build Phase. The player who wins the Diplomacy category may steal one random card from an opponents hand. Discard it if it is an industry card, otherwise keep it. Players may use the Influence level of Influence cards as Income units. Include the value of Influence cards played into the written bid. Influence cards are discarded at the end of the bid after they are used.

BUILD PHASE Each player may put one Colonial Resource card or Industry card into play. These cards are played face up in front of the player. These cards are not discarded. They generate income for their owners every turn in Revenue phase. Industry cards represent revenue sources within a player’s home country. A player may put two or more Colonial Resource cards into play if they are all from the same region.

TRADE PHASE Players may trade cards.

VICTORY 537

The player with the highest revenue on turn 15 is the winner.

GAME DESIGNERS NOTES At least 3 players are necessary to maintain some balance of power.

OPTIONAL IMPERIAL POWERS Portugal - always last to join an alliance Spanish - bonus $1 to Colonies bid for War England - bonus $1 to Sea bid for War French - bonus $1 to Europe bid for War Dutch - if starting hand has no industry, discard Germany - after bids revealed, may swap values of

THE DECK Players share the Enhancement deck. The deck contains two types of cards: Income Cards & Combatants.

THE MAP The Map is a circular ring divided into 36 spaces. Spaces need to be large enough to put cards on. The spaces are marked as follows: 1 Gulf Stream (Start/End Space) 2 Intracoastal Waterways 3 St Augustine (Settlement) 4 Mangrove Swamps 5 Unexplored Wilderness 6 Cowford (Settlement) 7 Payne’s prairie 8 Indian Trails 9 New Smyrna (Settlement) 10 Hardwood Hammock 11 Barrier Islands 12 Fort Caroline (Settlement) 13 Pond Apple Slough 14 King’s Road 15 Fort Matanzas (Settlement) 16 Cypress Stand 17 Lakes 18 Fort Picolata (Settlement) 19 St. Johns River 20 Wild Coast 21 Cape Canaveral (Settlement) 22 Beaches & Sandbars 23 Wetlands & Estuaries 24 Santa Maria de Loreto (Settlement) 25 Everglades 26 Old Spanish Road 27 San Luis (Settlement) 28 Sawgrass 29 Quagmire 30 San Marcos (Settlement) 31 Coral Reefs & Seagrass Beds 32 Sand Hills 33 Pensacola (Settlement) 34 Pine Barrens & Flatwoods 35 Sinkholes & Limestone Springs 36 Tallahassee (Settlement)

PIECES Each player has one pawn and 12 control markers.

539

Disease, Hurricane, Pirate, or Indian Raid Markers are needed.

VICTORY The first player to accumulate 50 Gold is the winner.

TURN SEQUENCE Each turn has 7 phases: Rebuild Phase Hurricane Phase Pirate Phase Indian Raid Phase Disease Phase Income Phase Action Phase

REBUILD PHASE Remove one Raze counter from each settlement that has one.

HURRICANE PHASE Roll 3D6 and move the Hurricane Marker counterclockwise. If the Hurricane lands on a Settlement place 1D6 Raze markers on it. Enhancements are destroyed on a roll of 1 on 1D6 (roll for each)

PIRATE PHASE Roll 2D6 and move the Pirate Marker counterclockwise. If the Pirate lands on a Settlement, the settlement is attacked by 1D3 combatants. If the defenders lose, place 1D6 Raze markers on the settlement. This includes the effects of bandits, outlaws, corsairs, slavers, wreckers, & buccaneers.

INDIAN RAID PHASE Roll 1D6 and move the Indian Raid Marker counterclockwise. If the Indian Raid lands on a Settlement, the settlement is attacked by 1D3 combatants. If the defenders lose, place 1D6 Raze markers on the settlement. Major tribes included: The Seminoles (Creeks), Miccosukee, Tequesta, Tocobaga, Timucuan, Apalachee, Calusa, and Choctaws.

DISEASE PHASE Roll 1D6 and move the Disease Marker counterclockwise. If the Disease lands on a Settlement place 1D6 Raze markers on it. Diseases of the time included: Yellow Fever, Malaria, Typhus, and Cholera. Combatants present are killed on a roll of 1-2 on 1D6

INCOME PHASE Each settlement generates income. Income = 1 + the number of Income cards attached to the settlement. Make an additional 1 Gold if the settlement has at least one Labor and One non-labor income card attached.

540

The settlement makes an additional 1 Gold for each two Income cards of the same type, such as two ‘Civilization’ cards or two ‘Sea’ cards. Razed settlements do not generate income. If an opposing pawn is on your settlement the settlement generates no income.

ACTION PHASE Players take turns moving their pawn. Roll two six sided dice, pick one, and move that many spaces clockwise. A Player must skip his turn if his pawn occupies the same space as a Disease, Hurricane, Pirate, or Indian Raid Marker If your pawn lands on a settlement not controlled by anyone, you are the “Founder” of the Settlement. Place one of your control markers on it. If your pawn lands on a settlement you already control then remove 1D6 Raze Markers from it. If the settlement has no Raze markers draw one card from the Enhancement Deck. Attach the enhancement card to the settlement. If your pawn lands on an opposing settlement you may attack it if you control either of the two Settlements next to it and at least one of them has a combatant card attached. To resolve the attack, roll (1 + X)D6 where X = the number of combatant cards you Are committing from adjacent settlements. The defender rolls (2 + X)D6 where X equals The number of all combatants attached to the attacked settlement. Reroll ties. The higher roll wins. The loser loses all committed combatants. The winner loses one combatant (but not his last one) on a roll of 1-3 on 1D6. (Fortress cards are never destroyed, they switch hands instead) If the defender won nothing further happens. If the attacker won he gains control of the attacked settlement. He replaces the Control marker with one of his own and may transfer one of the Attacking Combatants to the newly conquered Settlement. If you control any Moveable Combatants, you may move them on your Turn, to an adjacent settlement you control.

COMBAT DICE by Jörg Hansen Combat Dice (CD's) are a very comfortable and easy way to resolve battles in any game system on any detail level. Lots of our self developed games use CD's, and even our favourite warpspawn games like Artifact or the Warp Skirmish System can be varied with CD's if you feel the need for a change. CD's are 6-sided dice with two sides called 'hits' (5 and 6 on a common die) and one side called 'Oops' (the 1). The remaining sides have no meaning. And here's how to use them on different levels of detail: 1. level - keep it simple, stupid Each combatant has a certain strength. Both sides throw as many CD's as their strength says, and the fighter who has more hits wins. The loser might be killed or lose as many hitpoins as the difference between the amounts of hits. 2. level - fast skirmish Each player might have a defending power as well. The attacker throws as many CD's as his attack value says, the defender corresponding to his defending power. If the attacker scores more hits than the defender, the target loses (life, 1 hitpoint, the difference between the amounts of hits). The attacker may not lose this turn. 3. level - different character traits Each player might have different character traits that can be rolled out against each other. For example: Gunnery vs. ship size, if hit then weapon power vs. defense shields etc. You can design this in any detail level you like (some details suck and tend to slow down the gameplay, so do some playtesting). 4. level - modifiers (tabletop gaming etc.) You can use this in combination with any level - just give modifiers under certain circumstances. Let weapons add a number of CD's to your strength, let a distance to the fire target determine if the attacker has to reduce his gunnery (half of the CD's or anything), let your character double a defensive power if he's taking cover etc. Another way of modifying might be the adding/subtracting of CD's, maybe when doing combined attacks etc. You get the idea - let your imagination flow :) Critical hit/miss If your CD roll delivers only "Hits", this might be declared as critical hit, which can lead to any consequences you like - target destroyed, secret roll revealed, extra attack etc. If your CD roll delivers more "Oops" than "Hits", this might be declared as critical miss, which can lead to any consequences you like - weapon jam / out of ammo, self-inflicted wound, loss of all further action points this round etc. RPG with CD's We even play some RPG's with CD's - it's easy. Just let the character traits determine the number of CD's to be rolled, and give the challenges/obstacles a certain power that a) has to be reached with hits, or b) determines the number of CD's that can be rolled against the player's roll. Designer's note CD's are not our invention. Lots of games use some kind of CD's (for just one example see Universal Game Systems / Rules of War). But since we made our own cool-looking set of CD's,

548

we discovered that lots of games easily can be adapted to them, which often spices up even long-sellers. We learned that a lot of "realism" can be added with CD's without the usual disadvantage of getting the gameplay too complicated. The advantage for game designing is the fact, that the designer only has to deal about the different character traits and their balance - and even the level of detail can be varied very easily. The advantage for the gamers is the simplicity of use and result. If you have any comments/critic/suggestions/ideas, we're eager to hear from you at [email protected].

COMBAT DICE INTRODUCTION Get ready to throw lots of dice around. The game simulates two opposing fantasy warriors locked in deadly combat.

EQUIPMENT Lots of Dice of different colors. Some way to keep track of Hit Points.

TURN SEQUENCE Combat Phase Initiative Phase Maneuver Phase Attack Phase Damage Phase

COMBAT ROLL PHASE Both players roll their combat dice into separate boxes. This is known as the combat roll. Add up scores as described in the example.

INITIATIVE PHASE The player with the highest Initiative score attacks first. If initiative scores are tied, the attacks are simultaneous.

MANEUVER PHASE If the winner of the initiative phase also has a higher maneuver score, than that player may rethrow his dice. The new scores will only affect the attack & damage phases.

ATTACK PHASE Conduct Compare If your If your

this phase in order of initiative. your Attack score to your opponents Dodge score. Attack score is higher you have 'hit' your opponent. Attack score is equal or lower, your attack misses.

DAMAGE PHASE Conduct this phase in order of initiative. You can only do damage if you hit your opponent in Attack phase. Compare your Damage score to your opponents Armor score. If your Damage score is equal or lower, your attack does no damage. If your Damage score is higher you have 'damaged' your opponent. Your attack does damage equal to the difference. Damage is subtracted from your opponents Hit point total.

550

A combatant reduced to 0 Hit points is unconscious. A combatant reduced to -2 Hit points is dead.

BASIC COMBATANTS The basic combatant uses 6 Basic Combat Dice and has 10 Hit points. A combatant starts the combat with 3 items from the equipment list below. Weapon, Shield, Armor, Bow & Arrows, Spell Charm The basic combatant is a warrior with sword, medium shield, and light armor. A spell charm contains one spell.

BASIC COMBAT DICE The basic combat die is the common six sider. Roll Score 1 Attack 2 Dodge 3 Damage 4 Armor 5 Initiative 6 Maneuver

SAMPLE COMBAT TURN A warrior rolls 6 basic combat dice. He rolls: 2, 3, 1, 3, 5, 3 His scores: Attack = 1; Dodge = 1; Damage = 3; Armor = 0; Initiative = 1; Maneuver = 0 His opponent, the myrmidon, also rolls 6 basic combat dice. He rolls: 6, 4, 1, 4, 5, 3 His scores: Attack = 1; Dodge = 0; Damage = 1; Armor = 2; Initiative = 1; Maneuver = 1 They tie in initiative, so attacks are simultaneous. The myrmidon attacks but the warrior dodges. The warrior hits. The myrmidon fails to dodge. The warrior does 3 damage, but the myrmidons armor blocks 2 damage. The myrmidon loses 1 hit point.

ADVANCED RULES DAMAGE DICE Along with the basic dice roll two more six-sided dice of a different color. If the fighter inflicts no damage than ignore the damage dice. Add the two dice to see what additional affects are incurred by the damage. 2D6 Result 2 Bleeding 3 Hurt Arm 4 Double Critical 5 Disarm 6 Stunned 7 No effect 8 Stunned 9 Knockdown 10 Break Armor 11 Hurt Leg 12 Blinded Stunned- Opponent uses 1 less basic combat die next turn. Disarm- Opponents attack and damage scores are at -2 until the player rolls a maneuver score = 2+ to retrieve the weapon. Knockdown- Opponents attack and damage scores are -1 until player rolls a maneuver score = 2+ to get back up.

551

Hurt Arm- Opponents attack and damage scores are -1 permanently. Hurt Leg- Opponents dodge and maneuver scores are -2 permanently. Double Critical- Roll twice more on this table. Break Armor- Opponents armor score is -1 permanently. Bleeding- Opponent suffers 1 additional hit in Damage phase for 1D6 more turns. Blinded- Opponent uses 3 less basic combat dice permanently.

SPECIALTY COMBAT DICE & ADVANCED COMBATANTS More powerful fighters will have 1D6 more hit points and 1D6 specialty dice. Specialty dice are the result of natural ability and years of training. Specialty dice are picked according to character concept. Specialty dice are thrown in addition to the basic dice during the combat roll. Specialty must be colored different from the basic dice, the damage dice, and each other. Below are examples of specialty dice.

ARMOR D6 1 2-6

CARD SET AVAILABLE Cheers! A Cardset by Janne Thörne: Click here for Cardset

VICTORY Reduce your opponent to zero Morale Points.

MORALE POINTS Each player begins with 7 Morale Points. Use coins, dice, or tokens to keep track of MP’s.

THE DECK Players share a common deck. There are 11 card types. The deck contains a total of 46 cards.

DICE Six sided dice are needed to play

555

TOKENS Tokens are needed to keep track of damage. Tokens are placed on the ship card that is damaged.

SETUP Each player is dealt a hand of 7 cards. Roll high to determine who goes first. Players cannot attack on their first turn.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 4 phases: Maneuver Phase Deploy Phase Attack Phase End Phase

MANEUVER PHASE Draw 1 card. If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it.

DEPLOY PHASE Put one or more Ship cards into play. Ship cards are placed face up in front of you.

ATTACK PHASE Use Attack cards to cause one or more of your ships to attack. When Attacking, a ship rolls a number of dice equal to its current Strength. Every roll of 1 causes 1 Damage Token to be put on the enemy ship A ship with zero Strength is out of action. (ships weren’t usually sunk, just reduced to drifting hulks) If no enemy ships remain, each successful attack causes your opponent to lose one Morale Point.

END PHASE Max hand size is 7 cards. Discard excess cards.

CURRENT STRENGTH DEFINITION A Ship’s Current Strength = Hull size rating - Number of Damage Tokens on the Ship.

BROADSIDES CARD The Broadsides attack card allows one of your target ships, and One of your opponents target ships to attack each other.

556

RAKE THE BOW CARD Rake the Bow allows one of your ships to attack a target Opposing Ship without being fired back upon.

GENERAL MELEE CARD The General Melee card allows all ships in play to attack. In Melee you pick how the ships are paired up. The player with Excess ships may assign them to attack target ships of his choice or Opponents Morale.

BOARDING ACTION CARD For Boarding Action a pair of ships is selected. Both Roll 1D6 (Boarding Rolls) and add their current strength. The higher total wins. Attacker wins ties. The losing ship is captured by your Marines. A Captured ship fights on your side. Grapeshot rule: A player may play (discard) a Broadsides card to 'sweep the decks' and get +1 to his Boarding roll.

OUTMANEUVER CARD Can be used 2 ways: 1. Keep ones Distance: Negate an Attack card just played and draw a card from the deck. 2. Superior Seamanship: Cause opponent to discard 2 random cards in Maneuver Phase.

SPECIAL DAMAGE CARD Target a ship upon which you just inflicted damage. Panic: Enemy ship with Strength = 2 & intact Rigging flees the Battle. Surrender: Capture Enemy ship with Strength = 1. If neither of the above apply roll 1D6: 1-3: Rigging Destroyed: This ship attacks as if it had one less Strength Ship cannot Board, Rake, or make Broadsides, however it may be the target of such. 4: Sniper Kills Captain: The ship attacks as if it had one less Strength. 5: Hot Shot: The Ship becomes engulfed in fire & sinks. 6: Blown Away: The Main Magazine explodes. The Ship sinks. If a ship gets hit with a second (or more) special damage card producing a duplicate result the ship instead gets 1 extra damage token.

RARITIES CARD Can be used in 4 different ways: 1. Repairs: Remove 1 Damage Token from target ship. 2. Fireship: Make a Strength = 6 attack vs target ship. 3. Signal Flags: Discard X cards to draw X+1 cards. 4. Strategist: Look at opponent’s hand & draw one card from the deck.

CONNEXIONS INTRODUCTION Based on the idea of the Glass Bead Game from the book Magister Ludi by Herman Hesse. For the amusement & edification of one or more participants.

THE PLAYING FIELD & BEADS The Internet itself is the playing field. Individual Web Pages are the "Beads" Internet Links are how the Beads are connected.

RULES Pick randomly 2 Ideas from the Idea List. The goal is to connect these 2 Ideas by a series of linked Web pages. First, find a page that mentions one of these ideas. Next follow a link from that page to another page. (Record the addresses of all connecting pages) Continue linking until you find your way to a page that mentions the other idea that you selected. Note that a page without any links is a dead end. Using a search engine as a connecting 'bead' is not aesthetically pleasing.

CONQUEST OF DEMARA Module for the Warp Empires system Warp Empires system must be used to play this module 2-8 players

You will need: An Action Deck (used by all players) A unit chit pile (used by all players) A Leader chit pile (used by all players) The Demara map 50 control markers for each player Coins or some other marker for revenue

MAP The map consists of one large continent surrounded by sea. The continent is divided into realms, each surrounded by a red border, everything within the border being part of the realm. Each realm is then divided into territories. Realms The Kingdom of Pelidon Baelfonas The Lion Coast The Kingdom of Zarkanul Tam’shara Aevlos The Sword Isles Ebalyn The Empire of Feynal Gronnor Samoroth Ordenheim Pard Kaloidan The Wildlands Eloch Desert The Bone Lands The Plains of Ap Charoth

Territories 9 2 5 4 5 4 3 3 7 4 5 3 2 5 6 4 3 3

There are also a number of sea territories surrounding the map. Each territory has a number of symbols that mean different things Symbol Mountains Tree Wave Asterisk Cactus Weed Skull Dollar Sign

Description Mountain territory Forest territory Coastal territory Ice territory Desert territory Swamp territory Deadlands territory Revenue producing territory

VICTORY Player will win if they have rulership over 8 realms, or all other players have been eliminated.

SET UP Each player rolls a dice, the highest score goes first, then clockwise around the table, picking a territory in one realm to be their starting territory Each player in turn order takes 9 random unit chits and 1 random leader

571

chit, and places them in their starting territory. No more than one player may start in a single realm.

ACTION DECK Players share a common action deck.

REVENUE PHASE Revenue points are called Coin Each territory produces 1 Coin for each $ in the territory. If a player has rulership over a realm, ie: controls all the territories in a realm, then each territory produces 1 additional Coin. NOTE: The Bone Lands and the Plains of Ap Charoth do not have a complete red border, and so a player cannot have rulership over these realms.

RECRUIT PHASE A player may choose to draw only two unit chits in order to draw 1 Leader chit. Leader units are Heroes, Sorcerers and Priests. A unit that has a terrain requirement cannot be recruited unless the player recruiting them controls a territory that has the required terrain. They do not have to be recruited into that territory, control is enough. Each territory may produce 1 unit. Magic items can only be attached to their proper leader unit. A leader unit can only have one magic item attatched.

MOVE PHASE Magic items can be swapped between leaders if the occupy the same territory at the beginning of the phase.

BATTLE PHASE Spell cards can be played only if there is a correct spellcasting unit in the stack. If a leader is slain, their magic items are also discarded.

UNITS Special Attributes ATTRIBUTE Cavalry Berserker Missile Undead Raiders Water

CRACK OF DOOM

INTRODUCTION Board Game for 2 or more players. Lord of the Rings Theme. Each player is their own “Fellowship”.

VICTORY Players race to see who is the first to destroy the One Ring.

DISCLAIMER Lord of the Rings is a licensed, copyrighted, trademarked property. This is merely a fan site.

THE BOARD The board is a trail 72 spaces long. Space #1 (the starting space) is the Shire Space #10 is the Haven Rivendel. Spaces #15-25 is Moria (Evil Lands) Space #30 is the Haven Lorien Space #40 is the Haven Rohan Space #50 is the Haven Minas Tirith Spaces #60-71 is Mordor (Evil Lands) Space #72 (the finish space) is Mount Doom

PIECES Each player has a Fellowship Pawn of a different color. Six sided dice are needed to play.

THE DECK Players share a common deck. The Deck has 5 types of cards: Foes, Hardships, Aids, Modifiers, and Special cards.

MARKERS Defeat markers and Corruption markers are needed.

579

SETUP Fellowship Pawns are placed on the Shire. Roll high on 1D6 to determine turn order.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. On your turn draw two cards from the deck, and put them in your hand. If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw again. Max hand size is 9 cards. Discard excess cards.

MOVEMENT On your turn roll one die and move your pawn that number of spaces forward on the track. Subtract one from the movement die roll for every Defeat marker you have. Instead of rolling, you may rest and remove one Defeat Marker.

HAVENS Havens cannot be bypassed: Always stop when reaching one. When on a Haven remove all Defeat markers and one corruption marker. When on a Haven you may discard any number of cards and fill your hand to nine cards.

ENCOUNTERS If you move into a non-occupied, non-haven space, any opponent may play a Foe or Hardship card.

RESOLVING FOE ENCOUNTERS Roll 1D6. This is the Battle Roll. Discard Aid cards to increase the Battle Roll result. Subtract one from the Battle Roll result for every Defeat marker you have. If the Battle Roll result is equal to or higher than the Foe Strength, the Fellowship escapes (is victorious). If the Battle Roll result is lower than the Foe Strength, the Fellowship is defeated. If defeated, the Fellowship gains one Defeat marker and misses its next turn.

USING THE RING In a Foe encounter you may use the power of the ring to help you win. Add 2 to your Battle Roll result and gain one corruption marker.

RESOLVING HARDSHIPS Roll 1D6. This is the Hardship Roll. Discard Hardship Aid cards to increase the Hardship Roll result. Subtract one from the Hardship Roll result for every Defeat marker you have. If the Hardship Roll result is equal to or higher than the Hardship Strength, the Fellowship survives. If the Hardship Roll result is lower than the Hardship Strength, the Fellowship turns back. If turned back, the Fellowship moves back 1D6 spaces, and misses its next turn.

580

ENDGAME When you arrive on Mount Doom Roll 3D6. Subtract the number If the modified Roll total is doom and win the game. If you

make a Corruption Roll: of corruption markers you have from the roll. 12 or more you throw the one ring into the crack of fail try again next turn.

CRIMSON SKY PRIVATEERS

INTRODUCTION Card game for 2+ players. Each player controls a squadron of Privateers. Lead your pilots on missions vs pirate gangs, enemy militias, and commercial zeppelins.

583

DISCLAIMER Crimson Skies is a trademarked, copyrighted, licensed property. This is merely a fan site.

BACKGROUND Check out the official Crimson Skies website.

VICTORY The player with the most VP (Victory Points) at the end of the game wins. The game ends when a player goes to draw a card and there are no cards left in the deck. VP are gained by completing missions.

THE DECK Players share a common deck. The deck contains 6 types of cards: H = Pilots P = Planes W = Weapons M = Maneuvers D = Damage V = Missions

DICE & COUNTERS Six sided dice are needed. Use counters to mark damage.

SETUP Each player is dealt 7 cards. Roll high on 1D6 to see who goes first.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 6 phases: Luck Phase Recruit Phase Mission Phase Defender Phase Action Phase End Phase

LUCK PHASE Draw 2 cards from the deck. Max hand size is 10 cards. Discard excess cards.

RECRUIT PHASE 584

You may put a plane card with an attached pilot card into play.

MISSION PHASE You may play a Mission card. Also indicate which of your Pilots are going on the mission. A maximum of 4 pilots may go on a mission.

DEFENDER PHASE Your opponent may play from his hand: plane cards and pilot cards. Your opponent may not play more pilot than plane cards. These cards are ‘defending’ the Mission.

ACTION PHASE This phase is divided into a series of rounds. The current player goes first, followed by the defenders. The phase ends when one side is destroyed or the active player retreats. Each pilot, plane, and Mission card has a Force value. On your round roll a number of six sided dice equal to the total Force of your participating cards. On your round, you may play (discard) one Maneuver or Weapon card to gain additional Force. Your opponent may play certain Maneuver cards to decrease your force total. Every time you roll a “1” your opponent takes one point of damage. The opponent distributes the damage. Planes and Mission cards each have a number of hits. Mission cards have Hits equal to their Force. Each point of damage on a Mission card reduces its Force by 1. A plane reduced to zero hits is destroyed and discarded. Pilots go down with their planes. A mission card reduced to zero is “Captured” and the turn ends. You may play a damage card from your hand onto a plane card that has just received damage.

END PHASE If the active player won in action phase (destroyed all defenders) he gets to put the Mission card into his Victory pile. A Mission is worth VP equal to its Force. If the active player retreated or was wiped out, discard the Mission card.

CROSS & CROWN INTRODUCTION Abstract Strategy. 2-4 players. Players are Royal Dukes using political, religious and military influence to gain the most economic control of a disputed region.

SET UP Each player gets a set of counters placed in an opaque cup. Flip coins to determine turn order.

END OF GAME The game ends when there are no empty spaces left on the board.

VICTORY The player with the most Victory Points (VP) wins. VP are determined at the end of the game. Each settlement has a VP award for control of it. Gain 1 VP for every direct connection between 2 settlements that is composed of a trail of just your counters. Gain 1 VP for controlling the most settlements of one type. (Award for each type)

THE BOARD Use a 10 x 10 Hex map. 20 of the 100 spaces are Settlements. Draw settlements onto the board. Try to arrange it that settlements are not adjacent to each other or the side of the map. (Some of this is ok) Other spaces without settlements are considered to be empty spaces. If you wish, some spaces may be Mountains where counters cannot be placed. There are 5 types of settlements as listed in the Settlement table.

SETTLEMENT TABLE Type Number VP Village 6 1 Town 5 2 Castle 4 3 Mine 3 4 City 2 5 Number = Number of this type of settlement on the board VP = Victory points awarded for controlling this settlement.

COUNTERS Each player has a set of counters of a unique color. A Counter set contains: 6 Monks numbered 1-6 (Religious Influence) 6 Squires numbered 1-6 (Military Influence) 6 Heralds numbered 1-6 (Political Influence)

592

6 6 6 3 3 3

Priests numbered 7-12 (Religious Influence) Knights numbered 7-12 (Military Influence) Counts numbered 7-12 (Political Influence) Bishops numbered 13-15 (Religious & Political Influence) Templars numbered 13-15 (Military & Religious Influence) Barons numbered 13-15 (Political & Military Influence)

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. On your turn draw 2 random counters from your counter cup. Place one counter (from your pile of drawn counters) onto any empty square on the board. Counters may not be placed onto settlements or on top of other counters. Max hand size is 7 counters. Put excess counters back into your cup.

CONTROL OF SETTLEMENTS Determine control at the end of the game. The player having the most counters of one type surrounding a settlement controls it. For example: Player 1 has 3 Religious counters surrounding a village & no one else has 3+ counters of any one type. If players have an equal number of counters of different types then use the Superiority Analog: Military defeats Religious, Religious defeats Political, Political defeats Military. For Example: Player 1 has 2 Military counters & Player 2 has 2 Political counters. Player 2 gains control. If players have an equal number of counters of the same type, then the side with the higher number total wins. For Example: Player 1 has 3 Military counters with a combined total value of 18. Player 2 has 3 Military counters with a combined total value of 15. Player 1 gains control. In more complex situations the settlement remains contested and no one gains control. Note that if a counter is adjacent to 2 settlements it influences both of them.

593

CRUSADES INTRODUCTION Players lead rival bands of Crusaders in their efforts to conquer Palestine 1096-1271.

CHRISTENDOM Players units never attack each others units or settlements. They can only attack Turkish troops and Turkish controlled settlements. The Turks are not controlled by any player. Crusader nationalities include: German, French, English, Byzantine.

VICTORY Be the player with the most Victory Points (VP) at the end of Turn 15. VP’s are obtained by controlling settlements.

THE MAP Use a hex map or a map with irregular spaces. When making a map incorporate the 4 terrain types. Include 30+ settlements. Along the western and northern borders of the Holy Land several desert spaces should be denoted as Invasion Points. The western invasion points border the Mediterranean Sea. Invasions by this route required costly passage on the ships of the Italian Maritime Republics.

TERRAIN There are 4 types of terrain Type: Notes: 1. Sea Impassable 2. Desert --3. Mountains Impassable 4. Settlements 3 types

SETTLEMENT TABLE There are 3 types of Settlements: Type: VP Defense Troops Loot Supply Garrison 1. Village 1 0 1D6 1D6x25 3 1 2. Town 2 1 2D6 2D6x25 6 2 3. City 3 2 3D6 3D6x25 9 3 VP = Victory Points the player gets for controlling the settlement. Troops = Number of Arab troops initially defending the settlement. Supply = If controlled, the number of baggage the settlement provides per round. Loot = Amount of Baggage received the first time the settlement is captured. Defense = Modifies siege rolls.

COUNTERS Military units are represented by counters. Each player gets a set of counters of a unique color.

594

European Unit types include: Leaders (Kings & Nobles), Knights, Bowmen (Includes Bows & Crossbows), Heavy Infantry, Siege Engines. Also required is a common set of Turkish counters: Horse Archers (Includes Nomads & Camels), Cataphracts (Heavy Cavalry), Spearmen, Archers. Counters are also needed include: Starvation Counters, Sapping Counters

Notes +3 In open Battle Phase +1 In Bombardment Phase +3 In Bombardment Phase +3 In open Battle Phase +1 In open Battle Phase

DICE Six sided dice are required.

RECORD KEEPING Players record their baggage with pen and paper.

THE DECK Players share a common deck.

SETUP Each player starts with: 2D6 Leaders 3D6 Knights 4D6 Bowmen 6D6 Heavy Infantry 2D6 Siege Engines 2D6 x 50 Baggage Players determine turn order by rolling high on 1D6. Reroll ties. Shuffle the deck. All settlements start out as Hostile and Unexplored. (Hostile = Turkish-occupied Settlement) (Unexplored = Have yet to be the subject of a scouting expedition) In order each player places his army on one of the invasion points.

STACKING Any number of units may occupy a single space.

TURN SEQUENCE 595

Each turn has 13 Phases: 1. Fate Phase 2. Supply Phase 3. Upkeep Phase 4. Movement Phase 5. Open Battle Phase 6. Bombardment Phase 7. Sapping Phase 8. Assault Phase 9. Breach Phase 10. Pillage Phase 11. Starvation Phase 12. Revolt Phase 13. End Phase

FATE PHASE Each player draws 1 card from the deck. Place the card in your hand. If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it.

SUPPLY PHASE Players gain Baggage from settlements they control equal to the settlements supply value.

UPKEEP PHASE All of units consume 1 Baggage each. Leaders and Knights receive their baggage before other unit types. Units in settlements they control receive their baggage before other units. For each unit that does not recieve baggage roll 1D6 (Desertion Roll): 1-5 = no effect. 6 = a unit disbands. Remove units in the desert first.

MOVEMENT PHASE Players take turns moving their units. Each player gets one turn to move some, all, or none of his units. Determine turn order by rolling high on 1D6. Your units may move a number of spaces up to their MP (Movement Point) rating. Units must be stacked with a Leader to move. Units may not enter Sea or Mountain spaces. Units may not enter spaces occupied by opponents units. If a stack enters a hostile settlement space, the settlement is considered to be under siege.

RULE FOR SCOUTING When a stack enters a space that is next to an Unexplored settlement, roll to determine how many Turkish troops are garrisoned in the settlement. (The Garrison Roll) The number of troops is indicated on the Settlement Table. Half of the troops will be Archers. The rest are spearmen. Place the indicated Turkish counters onto the settlement.

OPEN BATTLE PHASE 596

Some cards cause a group of Turkish units to attack an opponent’s stack out in the open. If there are fewer Crusaders than Turks at a siege, (Including any that just arrived through card play) the Turks will emerge from the settlement and attack on a roll of 1-4 on 1D6. If the Turks are all killed, the Crusaders capture the settlement. Battles proceed in Rounds. Each Round has 3 Segments: 1. Missile Unit Attack Segment 2. Shock Unit Attack Segment 3. Morale Check Segment ***Missile Unit Attack Segment*** Missile Units (Horse Archers, Archers, Bowmen, and Siege Engines) attack first simultaneously. Units hit on a base roll of 10+ on 2D6. If they hit, an opposing unit is killed (Defenders choice). Your opponent chooses which Turkish units are lost. Rolls are modified by a unit's attack stats. Leaders do not get attack rolls but each may add a +1 to the roll of any one unit in the same stack once per round. A unit may receive only one Leader bonus per attack. ***Shock Unit Attack Segment*** All other non-missile unit types attack next simultaneously. Otherwise, this segment proceedes exactly like Missile Phase. ***Morale Check Segment*** Skip this segment if neither side suffered any casualties during this battle round. The side that suffered more casualties during this battle round must make a Morale Check. If both sides lost the same number of units, the Turks must make the Check. Roll 2D6: 4 or less The checking side breaks. 5 or more The checking side stands their ground. Proceed with the next battle round. Roll Modifiers (applicable to both sides): +2 If the checking side has a larger force -1 If the checking side has a smaller force Roll Modifiers (applicable to Crusaders only): +1 If the Crusader force has a Great Leader -1 If the Crusader force has no Leader Roll Modifiers (applicable to Turks only): -1 If the Crusader force has a Great Leader +1 If both sides lost the same number of units during this battle round -x If Turkish force has fewer than 5 units, x = (5 – total units)* * This modifier only applies if the Turks are able to retreat into a Settlement. ***Battle Conclusion*** Repeat the Round cycle until one side is destroyed or breaks. If the crusaders win they regain 1D6 casualties (Men who fled the field). If a Turkish Force breaks all its units retreat to the settlement or Flee if there is no Settlement. If a Crusader stack breaks it retreats into an adjacent space. If unable to retreat, due to impassible terrain or the presence of opposing forces, the stack is destroyed. Roll 1D6 for each retreating unit: On a roll of 1-2 it is slaughtered. Victorious Turks become part of the Settlement’s forces, if there is no settlement, the Turks ride off into the sunset.

BOMBARDMENT PHASE Besieging Missile troops may attack units inside a city. Units hit on a base roll of 11+ on 2D6. If they hit, an opposing unit is killed (Defenders choice). The last unit in a settlement cannot be destroyed this way. If the Crusaders attack, the Archers in the city may simultaneously attack back at +1 to their attack roll. Each side in the siege only attacks once this phase.

597

SAPPING PHASE Besieging troops may attempt to sap the settlement walls. Roll 1D6 (Sapping Roll): 1 Sappers Killed: Attacker loses one troop unit. 2 Counter Measures: Remove one Sapping Counter. 3-4 --5-6 Undermine the Walls: Put one Sapping Counter on the settlement.

ASSAULT PHASE The Besieging troops may attempt to Storm the Castle. Roll 2D6 (Assault Roll): 4 or less Repulsed & Lose 2D6 troops 5-7 Repulsed & Lose 1D6 troops 8-9 Breach & Lose 2D6 troops 10+ Breach & Lose 1D6 troops Add 1 to the roll per Sapping counter on the settlement. Subtract the Defense stat of the settlement from the roll.

BREACH PHASE If the Besieging troops breached the walls last phase, they enter the settlement and combat proceeds as in Open Battle Phase. Siege engines may not attack in Breach Phase.

PILLAGE PHASE If all of the Turkish defenders are killed in Breach Phase, the crusaders capture the city and Loot it. Baggage gained by looting is equal to the Loot stat in the Settlement table. A settlement may only be looted once per game. The player gains control of the settlement. The player must keep a garrison in the settlement with a number of troops equal to its Garrison level.

STARVATION PHASE If a settlement is under siege roll 1D6 (Starvation Roll): 1-5 Add one starvation counter to the settlement. 6 Attackers start fires or disease: Add two starvation counters 7 Add one starvation counter to the settlement. 8+ The settlement surrenders. Discard all defending units. Add the number of starvation counters already present to the roll. Subtract the settlements defense stat from the roll. If a settlement is ever not under siege immediately remove all starvation counters. If the city surrenders, the crusaders capture the city and Loot it.

REVOLT PHASE If a garrison is undermanned the populace of the city will revolt on a roll of 6+ on 1D6. If there is a revolt, the garrison is automatically destroyed and the city becomes hostile and 'unexplored'. if Crusader forces intentionally abandon a Settlement, that Settlement immediately becomes Hostile and Unexplored.

END PHASE 598

Hostile Turkish settlements not under siege will replenish all of their troop losses. Maximum hand size = 7 cards. Discard excess cards.

CARD NOTES ***Any units a player receives by virtue of cards like ‘Holy War’ and ‘Reinforcements’ remain with the player; they do not disappear after one battle. ***Bonuses are cumulative: For example, a player plays ‘Siege Tower’, ‘Ladders’, ‘Battering Ram’, and ‘Traitor’ all at once. ***There is a limit of 1 OB & 1 TSAB card that can be played against a given stack per turn. ***For cards that target a stack, only a Crusader stack may be targeted. ***Some reinforcement cards provide ‘Turkish’ units to a player. Turkish type troops that have been recruited into a player’s army cannot be left without at least one of the player’s ‘regular’ units to accompany them. ***A victim of Desertions & Plague is allowed to choose which units he must lose. If the result exceeds the number of units in the target stack, the stack is destroyed but the difference is not directed to another stack.

GREAT LEADERS Designate some Leaders (1D3 per Player at setup) as Great leaders. If any Great Leaders are present in a stack, all units get +1MP. A Great leader gives his +1 bonus to up to 3 troop units. Some Great Crusader Leaders include: Richard Coeur de Lion, Philip Augustus, Emperor Frederic Barbarossa, King Louis VII, Gilbert the Templar, Garin the Hospitaller, Baldwin I.

602

Each turn has 3 phases: Fate Phase Move Phase Attack Phase

FATE PHASE Draw 3 cards from your deck. Max hand size = 5 cards. If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it. Discard excess cards.

MOVE PHASE Play (discard) a Move card to move one of your units. The move card has a number. This is the number of spaces the unit moves. Moves can be diagonal or orthogonal. “Knight” type move cards allow a unit to move like a knight in chess. Instead of moving just one unit in any direction, you have the option of moving one or more units forward the indicated number of spaces using a single move card.

ATTACK PHASE Play (discard) an Attack card to have a unit attack. The attack card has a number. This is the range of the attack. Attacks can be diagonal or orthogonal. “Knight” type attack cards produce an attack with a range like a knight in chess. Attacks always do one Hit of damage to the target unless otherwise specified. Use Chits or coins to record damage. A unit reduced to zero Hits is killed and removed from the board. Your opponent may play Defense cards to negate your attack.

UNIT TABLE NOMENCLATURE # = Number of that type of man you start the game with. Hits = Number of Hits that type of unit has.

SUMMONED UNITS Some spells can summon units, which appear in an empty space next to the caster. The controller may use Attack & Move cards with the unit. Instead of using the Range on the cards, the cards will be assigned a range according to The spell description of the Unit. Summoned Units cannot use defense cards. A Summoned unit automatically loses 1 Hit per turn.

CONTROLLED UNITS The controller may use Attack & Move cards with the unit. These cards will always be considered to have a range = 1. Controlled units cannot cast spells.

D&D ADVENTURE SQUARES CARD GAME By: Sir Gerard Luft, KDM A Little Classic Gaming History In 1983 TSR tried to make miniatures for their Dungeons and Dragons and Advanced Dungeons and Dragons line. It wasn’t much more than a year later that they returned to using an outside company to furnish their miniatures. But regardless of what opinions collectors and gamers might have towards their miniatures, they had one outstanding and redeeming feature: Adventure Squares. Most second generation D&D players recall those simple little 4” by 3” dungeon rooms printed on the backs of the AD&D three pack blister cards. The neatest thing about these humble little terrain cards is that, after you appropriately cut them from the card board back, the name of the beasties that came in that blister lined up to be in the dead middle of the card’s flip side. I know for a fact that I was not the only player in those days that used the adventure squares for solo adventuring. It was simple to do because many of the rooms were repeats or looked very similar. I would take my favorite miniature (the male Paladin with sword from that series) and start with the card that he and his two other Paladin friends came in. Then I shuffled the cards, and placed the stack before me (with the adventure squares facing up). Take the first card, flip her over to find which monster is in that room, and have at it!

Adventure Cards for the D20 Era Gamer These classic moments of high fantasy gaming might not appeal to greatly to the present generation of D&D players. But clean up the rules a bit, pay lip service to the mighty D20 “super system” and add pretty MTG-like cards. Then you have a very nice adaptation of an old classic. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17.

Brush off your favorite D&D character’s sheet. Make up a series of about eight monster cards with as simplified stats on them as possible (I cheat and simply use those fantastic D20 Chainmail stats and rules; best thing to happen to the archetype Fantasy Game since the red box Basic Set). Make sure they’re at an appropriate level for you character. Shuffle and draw the beasties. The first card is the first dungeon room with the first monster. Hack and Slash! If you loose, you loose. If you win you get treasure and experience and get to proceed to the next dungeon room (i.e., draw the next card). If you make it through the whole deck you can add your experience and treasure (once again I personally take the easy way out by using D20 Chainmail Leveling and Magic Item award rules; but if I fail to get through the dungeon, I level up a monster chosen at random).

D20 TIME LINE A D20 CONVERSION OF THE LEGENDARY LLOYD

KRASSNER’S TIME LINE INTRODUCTION Two time traveling civilizations fight for ultimate control of the entire timeline. The Far Future is controlled by a scientifically advanced culture known as the Teraxians. The Distant Past is controlled by a magical race known as the Atlanteans. OBJECT Gain control of all 12 Eras on the Time Line. D20

You will need a twenty sided die (d20) in order to play this variant. This variant’s game mechanics herein are derived from the Open Gaming License of the D20 Systems Reference Document.

THE BOARD The board is composed of a row of 12 spaces. These spaces (or Eras) are labeled in the following order: # Era: Force 12. The Far Future X 11. Near Future 48 10. WWII 24 9. WWI 12 8. Age of Imperialism 9 7. Age of Revolution 6 6. Renaissance 5 5. Middle Ages 4 4. Roman Empire 3 3. Ancient Civilizations 2 2. Prehistory 1 1. Distant Past X Force = Force of Units recruited from this time period. Eras 2-11 have Period troops.

DICE Six and ten sided dice are needed.

COUNTERS Each player gets a set of counters of a unique color and with unique unit types. Units are also referred to as troops. There is also a set of same-color, common, generic period troops: Have 10 counters to represent Period troops from each Era 2-11. Mark the Era number on the counter.

TERAXIAN COUNTER SET # 1 3 1 25

Type Att/AC Scientists +3/13 Agents +6/16 Warships +9/19 Control Markers

Move 3 2 1

SETUP The Atlanteans begin with their starting counters in the Distant Past space. The Teraxians begin with their starting counters in the Far Future space. Roll high on 1D10 to see who goes first.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 5 Phases: 1. Random Factors 2. Time Travel 3. Change History 4. Recruit Troops 5. Seek & Destroy

RANDOM FACTORS PHASE The active player rolls for two Resources on the Resource Tables below. A Resource can only be used once, and than it is expended.

TIME TRAVEL PHASE You may move your units forward and backwards on the timeline a number of Eras up to their Move stat limit. For example: A Wizard could move from the Distant Past to the Middle Ages. Period troops have a base Move = 0. Cards may be played to increase the Move stat of target units.

CHANGE HISTORY If you have a unit in an Era you may try to gain control of the Era by interfering with history. Roll 1D20. this is the control roll. On a roll of 12-20 you gain control of the Era. Keep tract of control by placing control markers. Changing history involves assassinations, planting ideas, providing assistance, preventing or causing critical events.

RECRUIT TROOPS If you control an Era you may try to recruit one period unit from it.

621

Roll 1d20. This is the Period Recruit Roll. On a roll of 12-20 you gain one unit. The Atlanteans may make two rolls for the Prehistoric Era. Keep tract of control of period units by stacking them and then placing a control marker on the stack. The Atlantean Player makes one Atlantean Recruit Roll: 1D20 Recruit 1-4 Wizard 5-8 Warrior 9-12 Warrior & Roll for two Resources 13-16 Monster 17-20 Roll for two Resources Recruited Atlantean units begin in the Distant Past. The Teraxian Player makes one Teraxian Recruit Roll: 1D6 Recruit 1-4 Scientist 5-8 Agent 9-12 Combat Team 13 Combat Team & Roll for two Resources 5 Warship 6 Roll for two Resources Recruited Teraxian units begin in the Far Future.

SEEK & DESTROY If there are opposing units in the same Era they may fight. If neither side wants to fight there is no combat. If one side does not want to fight, it may attempt to hide or escape. Roll 1D20. This is the Hide or Escape Roll. On a roll of 12-20 the player may hide all his units. They may not be attacked this turn. Alternatively, on a roll of 12-20 the player may have all of his non-period units escape. Escaping units move to an adjacent Era. They may be attacked again in that Era. Units that fail to hide or escape must fight. If there is a fight each side adds up : 1. Each unit attacks simultaneously 2. Players roll a d20 for each unit and add that units attack modifier and any modifier from expending resources. If the modified roll is equal to or greater than the target units AC than that unit is defeated.

Players share a common deck.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 3 phases: Orders Phase Move Phase Battle Phase

ORDERS PHASE Draw 3 cards. If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it. Max hand size = 5 cards. Discard excess cards.

MOVE PHASE Play (discard) a Move card to move one of your units. Only units on Foot can use Foot cards. Only units on Horses can use Horse cards. Units cannot move through other units except for the Daimyo. The move card has a number. This is the number of spaces the unit moves. Some moves are diagonal, some orthogonal, and some can be either. “Knight” type move cards allow a man to move like a knight in chess. Instead of moving just one unit in any direction, you have the option of moving one or more units forward the indicated number of spaces using a single move card.

BATTLE PHASE Play (discard) an Attack card to have a unit attack. A unit must use an attack card that is the same as his weapon. For Example: Archers can only use Bow & Arrow cards. The attack card has a number. This is the range of the attack. Some attacks are diagonal, some orthogonal, and some can be either. “Knight” type attack cards produce an attack with a range like a knight in chess. The enemy unit that is the target of the attack is automatically Killed and removed from the map. Units cannot attack through other units except for Archers. Your opponent may play certain Defense cards to negate your attack. Only units with Armor may use an armor card. The Daimyo can make two attacks per turn (using two attack cards)

Roll to see how many times each piece of equipment can be used.

THE ROAD The road is a track divided into 100 segments. The first square is the Start square. Add 1D6 obstacle counters to random spaces on the Map

VICTORY Look at the opposing vehicles. Designate one player as the Slow Gang. The other player is the Fast Gang. The Slow gang wins if he gets 3+ his vehicles to the end of the tract, Otherwise the Fast gang wins.

DESTROYING VEHICLES If all the crew of a vehicle are killed, the vehicle is abandoned. Ramming and Fire may destroy vehicles outright.

SETUP All vehicles of the Slow gang start in the Start space. The Fast gang player may place his vehicles on any spaces. The slow gang goes first.

TURN SEQUENCE Each vehicle gets a turn. Each turn has 5 phases: Drop Phase Ride Phase Missile Phase Ram Phase HTH Phase

Players alternate.

DROP PHASE If a vehicle has Tacks or Oil it may drop one load.

652

Place a counter of the appropriate type in the vehicles current space.

RIDE PHASE Each of your vehicles may move 2D6 spaces forwards or backwards. If a vehicle has a negative speed modifier, you must reduce the roll by that amount. If a vehicle has a positive speed modifier, you may increase the roll by that amount. If you moved past or landed on a Tacks or Obstacle, or Oil counter roll 2D6 and add your Maneuverability modifier. If the modified roll is 7+ you evade the counter. Add +1 to the roll if the counter is one of yours. If you fail a Tacks counter your speed becomes –2 permanently. If you fail an Oil or Obstacle counter your vehicle cannot move next turn. If you occupy the same space as an abandoned vehicle, instead of moving, you may transfer 1 or more crew to the abandoned vehicle and take control of it. If you occupy the same space as a friendly vehicle, instead of moving, you may transfer 1 or more crew to the friendly vehicle.

MISSILE PHASE If you are in range (forwards or backwards) with one or more of your weapons with a Range score of 1+ you may attack a target vehicle. Each weapon rolls 1D6 and adds its To Hit Modifier. (+1 if Range = 1) Each target vehicle rolls 1D6 and adds its Armor Modifier. If the Weapon roll is higher the Vehicle loses 1 crew. If the weapon is a Fire weapon there is a further 1 in 6 chance the vehicle goes up in a Ball of Flame (Destroyed & all crew killed) Instead of aiming at the crew you may aim at the tires: If you hit, the speed of the target becomes –2 permanently.

RAM PHASE If you share the same space as an enemy vehicle you may ram it. Each vehicle rolls 1D6 and adds their Size & Ram Modifiers. The Higher roll wins. The loser cannot move next turn and has speed –1 permanently. If the target has a better speed or maneuverability than the rammer he may avoid the Ram contest on a roll of 4-6 on 1D6. If you lose a ram contest roll 1D6: On a roll of 5-6 your vehicle is destroyed and all crew are killed (Flipped, smashed, rolled over, crushed, go over cliff)

HTH PHASE If you share the same space as an enemy vehicle you may attack it in HTH (Hand-to-Hand) combat. Each vehicle rolls 1D6 and adds their Crew and HTH Modifiers. The Higher roll wins. The loser loses 1D3 Crew permanently. If the target has a better speed or maneuverability than you he may avoid the HTH contest on a roll of 4-6 on 1D6.

DEITY INTRODUCTION Players assume the roles of certain lesser Demigods. Each demigod begins with a small band of worshipers. Gain power by building temples and helping your population grow. Crush your enemies populations with acts of god and the armies of the faithful. The last remaining immortal is the one true Deity.

OBJECTIVE Destroy all of your opponent armies, populations, and temples.

WORLD BUILDING PREGAME SETUP PHASE Use a 10 x 10 or 12 x 12 blank hex map. Each player takes a turn drawing and then placing a Terain counter on the map. Counters are drawn at random from the terrain pile. The first player places his counter anywhere on the map. Counters must be placed adjacent to a counter already placed. A player may discard his counter and draw a new one twice during setup. Spaces without terrain counters are considered to be oceans or inland seas.

SETUP Each player rolls 4D6 to determine their starting population. If the Gods favor you, your rolls will be high. These may be placed in any one plains hex, not within 6 spaces of opposing units. Players start with no cards, armies, or temples. Players roll high to see who goes first.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 7 phases: 1 Draw Phase 2 Build Temple Phase 3 Raise Armies Phase 4 Population Growth Phase 5 Miracle Phase 6 Battle Phase 7 Movement Phase

DRAW PHASE Each player draws one card plus a number of cards equal to the number of temples he controls. A player may have a maximum of 7 cards in his hand. Excess cards are discarded.

BUILD TEMPLE PHASE Replace six Population counters in a single hex with a Temple counter.

655

A space may only contain a single Temple. Temples cannot be built adjacent to other Temples. You may build multiple Temples in this phase.

RAISE ARMIES PHASE Replace up to half of the Population counters in a hex with Army counters. You may raise armies in multiple spaces in this phase. Armies already existing may be converted back to Population counters.

POPULATION GROWTH PHASE Place a Population counter on each space you control not occupied by an Army or a Temple. The number of markers in a hex cannot exceed the Terrain limit. Discard excess counters.

MIRACLE PHASE A player may use none, some, or all of his cards. Most cards (miracles) are played during this phase. Some cards are used during other phases. A card is used to ‘perform a miracle'.

BATTLE PHASE Armies may attack units in adjacent hexes. Population counters may not attack. The attacker rolls 2 dice for every attacking army. The defender rolls 2 dice for every defending army. The defender also rolls 1 die for every 2 population counters rounding up. Every roll of 1 on D6 indicates one enemy counter is destroyed. Armies are destroyed before populations & populations before Temples. This procedure is repeated until: All attacking armies are destroyed. The attacker decides to retreat. all defending counters are destroyed.

MOVEMENT PHASE Population counters & armies may move one space. Temples cannot move.

659

ATTACK PHASE A unit may attack an enemy unit that is adjacent. Units with a Paralyzation or Siren counter may not attack. Hidden units may only be attacked on a roll of 5-6 on 1D6.

DESTINY INTRODUCTION Card game for 2 or more players. Fantasy theme.

THE DECKS There are 2 decks: The Treasure deck and the Destiny deck.

DESTINY CARDS There are 4 types of cards in the Destiny deck: Character cards, Base cards, Bonus cards, and Multiplier cards. When illustrating the cards: Make pictures of armies and creatures for base cards. Draw weapons, items, events, magics, for bonus cards. Depict structures and locations on multiplier cards. There is one of each of the cards listed in the deck lists.

ALIGNMENTS Each non-character card in the Destiny deck has one of 5 alignments: Good, Evil, Law, Chaos, or Nature. Good and Evil are opposed alignments. Law and Chaos are opposed alignments.

OBJECT Be the first to accumulate 5 treasure points.

SETUP Each player draws 7 cards from the Destiny deck. If there are no character cards, discard and draw again. If there is 1 or more character cards, the player must chose 1. This is the character they will use for the rest of the game. This character becomes the players identity. It is placed face up in front of the player and not discarded. The player always gets to use his character's special power.

TURN SEQUENCE First Aid Phase Treasure Phase Draw Phase Hit Phase Second Aid Phase Action Phase Base Phase Bonus Phase Multiplier Phase Total Phase Destiny Phase

667

FIRST AID PHASE In this phase a player may play one or more character cards from his hand. These cards are played face up in front of the player. They are called Aid cards. The player gains the special ability of these characters for the rest of the turn. Aid cards are discarded at the end of Destiny Phase.

TREASURE PHASE The treasure card deck is kept face up. Players may look at the order of the cards any time. The topmost card is the current treasure.

DRAW PHASE Players fill their hands to 7 cards from the destiny pile. If no cards are left, shuffle the discard pile and draw from it.

HIT PHASE Players may discard some, none, or all of their cards. After discarding players fill their hands to 7 cards from the destiny pile.

SECOND AID PHASE In this phase a player may play one or more character cards from his hand. These cards are played face up in front of the player. They are called Aid cards. The player gains the special ability of these characters for the rest of the turn. Aid cards are discarded at the end of Destiny Phase.

ACTION PHASE Players may use the special abilities of their Characters or Treasures in this phase. A player always gets to use the powers of treasures he owns.

BASE PHASE Each player may play one or more Base Cards. Cards are played face up in front of the player. A player cannot play cards of opposed alignments

BONUS PHASE Each player may play one Bonus card on each of his Base Cards. The base card and bonus card cannot be of opposing alignments.

MULTIPLIER PHASE Each player may play one Multiplier card on each of his Base Cards. The multiplier, base, and bonus cards cannot be of opposing alignments.

TOTAL PHASE 668

Each player calculates the Destiny total of his hand. Add the value of the bonus card to the base card. Multiply this total by the value of the multiplier card. If 2 of a player's cards have matching alignments each gets +1. If 3 of a player's cards have matching alignments each gets +2. Do this for each base card.

DEVASTATORS 2500 INTRODUCTION The larger Interstellar warships go by many categorical names: Dreadnaughts, Battlers, Star Cruisers, and of course, Devastators. Each player controls a Devastator, or ship, represented by his deck. Play pits Devastator vs Devastator. Run out your opponents deck to destroy his ship.

THE DECK The full Deck contains over 100 cards as described in the Card List. Before playing the first time, the deck will have to be constructed. The backs of all the cards are the same, the front should have the name of the card and its effect written out.

OBJECT Have the last remaining Devastator. When all of your opponents cards are in his Destroyed pile, you have eliminated him from the game.

SETUP Shuffle the full deck and deal each player an equal number of cards face down. These smaller decks for each player are called Draw Piles or Systems decks. A System deck represents all the weapon and defense systems on the players ship. Each player draws 5 cards from his system deck. Determine turn order by any convenient method. All ships begin at Long Range from each other.

THE DISCARD PILES Each player has two discard piles: The Destroyed pile and the Reuse pile.

TURN SEQUENCE Draw Phase Move Phase Launch Phase Attack Phase Defense Phase Damage Phase

DRAW PHASE Draw two cards from your Systems Deck. If there are ever no cards left in your systems deck, shuffle your Reuse Pile, which becomes your Systems deck. You may have a maximum of 8 cards in your hand. Excess cards go to your Reuse pile. Rule of thumb: Cards you play immediately go to your reuse pile. Cards lost to damage go to your destroyed pile.

673

If all of your cards are in the destroyed pile you lose.

MOVE PHASE You may discard one Thruster card from your hand to your Reuse pile to move your ship one step closer to or farther away from an opponents ship. The Range Steps are: Short Range ßà Medium Rangeßà Long Range Keep a record of the ranges between all ships.

LAUNCH PHASE You may launch a Fighter card. The Fighter card is placed face up in front of you, and remains there until an opponent destroys it.

ATTACK PHASE You may play attack cards to attack enemy ships at the appropriate range. One attack card per target devastator. The attack card lists its range. For example: you can only use a Torpedo to attack at long range. The attack card is played from your hand , and is discarded to your Reuse pile. Your fighters may always attack. You may attack an enemy fighter with attack card of any range. Fighters may also attack other fighters. When attacking a fighter your opponent must discard the top card of his draw pile into his reuse pile. If the drawn card is a thruster or armor card the fighter evades. A thruster or armor card may also be played from the hand to save a fighter. Any other type of card means the fighter is discarded to his owners Destroyed pile.

DEFENSE PHASE If you attacked, your opponent may play a Thruster card to evade the attack. The attack will do no damage. This is known as an evasion. Your opponent may also play one of the more specialized defense cards that will negate an attack of a specific type. Your opponent may play a Point Defense card to automatically destroy one of your attacking fighters. Played cards are discarded to that players Reuse pile. If destroyed, your fighter is discarded to your Destroyed pile.

DAMAGE PHASE Attack cards not evaded or negated will do damage to your opponents ship. Each Attack card lists a numerical damage value. Fighter attacks do one point of Damage. Your opponent discards a number of cards from his hand and/or from the top of his Draw pile (his choice) equal to the damage inflicted. These cards go to his destroyed pile. An Armor card, if discarded from hand or deck, soaks up all the remaining damage, and no further cards are discarded. You may play the Critical hit and Nuclear warhead cards to increase the amount of damage done by the attack.

DOCTOR WHO - THE KEYS OF CHRONOS AN UPDATED CARD GAME VERSION OF THE 1980 DOCTOR WHO – THE GAME OF TIME AND SPACE BY GAMES WORKSHOP

INTRODUCTION The old Time Lords are gone, and many races are competing to take their place as the Lords of Time. In order to forge a new Gallifrey and a new order of the Lords of Time, the Eighth Doctor must scour time and space to recover the six keys of Chronos. This will insure the new Gallifrey protection from its rivals, and bring order to all time and space.

SET UP This game may be played with 1 to 4 players. You will need to make the four card decks defined below. And like all the other Doctor Who games I have written, you can use DOCTOR WHO CCG cards in lieu. You will also need a twelve sided die (d12), and four Eighth Doctor miniatures, or counters or figures representing the King of Time. The cards create your board. 1. Shuffle the Mission cards and deal six to each player. 2. Shuffle the Key cards and lay them face down on the table moving from left to right and going down to form an 8 x 5 table of cards. 3. Shuffle the Item cards and using the same manner described in #2 lay them face down on top of the Key Cards. 4. Shuffle the Monster cards and using the same manner as # 2 and 3 lay them face down on top of the Item Cards.

PLAYING THE GAME Each player at the beginning of the game looks on the Mission cards to see which six keys he needs. He needs to collect these key cards in order to win. All players participating roll a d12. The Player with the highest score goes first. Each turn the Player’s Character can do any TWO of the following actions: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

Move up to 2 spaces either orthogonally or diagonally. Search for the Keys in the space you are in. You do this first by turning up the top card over. If it is blank you there is no monster and you can collect the Item Card and Key Card beneath. Fight the monster in the space you are in.

a. b. c. d.

Each Doctor character has ENERGY of 1. Add the energy of all item cards in your possession to your score. The modified number is the number you must roll equal to or less than on a 1d12 in order to defeat your foe.

681

e. f. g. h. i. j. k.

Each monster has an ENERGY score which is already modified by whatever weapons it normally uses (for those using DW CCG Cards, this is normally ENERGY + 3). The monster attacks you simultaneously, rolling a 1d12 (which can be rolled by another player). If it rolls its ENERGY or less it hits. Combat is then resolved for the combat round:

i. If the Doctor hits and the Monster miss, then the Monster is defeated. ii. If the Doctor misses and the Monster hits, then 1. The Doctor is Stunned (in a multiplayer game) a. The Item and Key cards are turned up. b. All Key Cards that the Player’s Character has that are not blank and are not of the type that space already possessed, is place in that site, and are given to any player who lands in that space and defeats the monster. c. The Player must skip two turns before his Character can make any more actions. 2. The Doctor fails his mission, and the game is over (in a solitaire game) iii. If both sides hit, or both side miss, then no one is defeated and the Combat Round is repeated. d. e.

The Combat Round continues until either the Doctor or the alien is defeated.

WINNING The first player to obtain all six keys matching his Mission cards wins.

DOCTOR WHO – THE LORDS OF TIME BOARD GAME FOR UP TO FOUR PLAYERS INSPIRED FROM THE ORIGINAL 1975 DOCTOR WHO GAME BY STRAWBERRY FAYRE INTRODUCTION Gallifrey has been removed from space and time, but nature abhors a vacuum. It is up to the inheritors of their legacy to forge a new Gallifrey and a new order of the Lords of Time. Up to four players may play this game. There are four sides: The Eighth Doctor from Earth, Sabbath from the Moon, and Empress Miranda from the Throne World of the Universal Empire, and the cyborg Silver who has escaped exile from the Planet A2756. Who ever establishes the new Gallifrey wins. SET UP You will need 1 six sided die, one of each doctor who miniatures (or chess pawns or counters), a one of each of the four decks described below and the game board (If you can not print the Game Board, you can use a modified Ludo or Parcheesi board). GAME BOARD: http://www.angelfire.com/games4/doctorwhoeyespy/dwlt.JPG PAPER MINIATURES: http://www.angelfire.com/games4/doctorwhoeyespy/dwltm.JPG If you have the DOCTOR WHO COLLECTABLE CARD GAME, you can use cards from it for your four decks. The DW CCG Card that can be used is listed in the farthest right column in the CARD LISTS below. For the most part, the number of spaces that the character causes the drawer to fall back is equal to that card’s ENERGY score. So you will not need to mark up any cards (unless you want to put the Eighth Doctor’s face on a Doctor card, which looks really cool).

THE RULES Choose who will start first. Then the turn proceeds clock wise from the first player, until reaching the first player again, in which a new turn begins. The Players’ Characters begin on the colored square with the picture of their TTC (Time Travel Capsule on it) The Doctor- The TARDIS; Blue. Sabbath- The Jonah; Red. Miranda- The Supremacy; Gold Silver- Silver’s TTC; Green The player whose turn it is rolls a die and proceeds that many spaces clock wise along the board. If the character lands on any colored spaces (except those in the two in her or his “home stretch”) then they must draw a card from the designated deck, and fall back the number of spaces indicated. a. b. c.

THE EARTH- Blue THE MOON- Red THE IMPERIAL THRONEWORLD-

685

d. e.

Gold THE PLANET A2756- Green

The Players’ Characters must proceed about the game board (which represents the Temporal Vortex, and the current four major Nexus Point Worlds) in order to reach their “home stretch”, which consists of two squares matching the color of their adopted home world (not too much unlike Parcheesi or Ludo). In order to enter the NEW GALLIFREY in the center, the Player must do so with an exact roll. If the Players want a sorter game, they may do away with the exact roll rule. The First Player to have his or her Character reaches the center and establishes the New Gallifrey Wins.

DOCTOR WHO – THE SABBATH DAYS by C Gerard Luft

RULES The eighth doctor has lost his memory. He has a whole new band of enemies. One player plays Sabbath. The other is the good doctor. There are three decks: One for the doctor, One for Sabbath and An "elemental" artifact deck. At the start of each turn each player draws three cards from their deck. The top card of the artifact deck is revealed. The players fight this turn for that card. The winner who gets the most elemental artifacts wins. The game continues until the last artifact is claimed. When players run out of cards they do NOT reshuffle. The doctor begins with the eighth doctor card; Sabbath, with the Sabbath card. Cards remain on the table (not in the hand) and can never be discarded.

MATERIALS NEEDED You will need to make the three card decks and have ten sided dice.

SPECIAL NOTE FOR DOCTOR WHO CCG PLAYERS So you bought the starters and boosters by the box. Now your swimming in dwccg cards. In the card lists below names of dwccg cards that you can use to substitute are given. You will find that the energy, substance and support values add up to the power value (except for Miranda). The power level for resource and Flash cards are 3. You can find good pictures of the eighth doctor to affix to the doctor card at any decent doctor who site. Conceptual pictures of fitz and anji can be found at the fan fiction area of the timelords uk site. You can use a picture of Orsin Wells with out the beard for Sabbath (this is lance parkins suggestion at least).

THE GAME DRAW PHASE Each player draws 3 cards. The max hand is 9. You must discard down to this number. The top card is revealed on the artifact deck.

CHALLENGE PHASE Each Player role a 1d10 and adds his character power value to the role. If the doctor rolls a 10 he gets to roll again (and so on). Then each player may play any cards from his hand to the table adding those cards valve to the role. The player with the highest power score wins the artifact.

DAMAGE PHASE 688

The loosing side must discard all the cards played this turn (except for the doctor or Sabbath.) The winning side must discard cards equal to loosing sides power score. The remaining cards are returned to the hand.

CARD LIST Players making their own cards should ignore the parenthesis; thats for doctor who ccg conversions only.

DOCTOR WHO: EYE SPY OVERVIEW The Doctor and Sabbath are both looking for the scattered remnants of the Elementals, the Lords of Time who never existed (see Doctor Who-Adventuress of Henrietta Street). Chief among these artifacts is a black sun, the EYE. He who controls the EYE controls the new dynasty of Time Lords for the universe. But while the Eighth Doctor has looked without for the Eye, he has not tried to first look WITHINâ The TARDIS was once infinite, but now only a small part of its interior is accessible. And Fitz is hearing strange sounds behind the unusual walls that have partitioned the TARDIS' interior (see Doctor Who- Trading Futures). And now a door to the mysterious cloister room has opened. Could the EYE have been in their all the while? But one challenge stands in the Doctor's way of exploring the cloister room and unveiling its secrets: SABBATH!

SETUP This is a board game version of DOCTOR WHO: THE SABBATH DAYS. You will need to be familiar with that game and make a set of cards from SABBATH DAYS in order to play DW: EYE SPY. One Player plays the Doctor. His goal is to move from the CONSOLE ROOM to the CLOISTER ROOM. The other plays Sabbath. His goal is to prevent the Doctor from reaching the cloister room. You will need to make a 10 by 10 board (or print the one provided), each of its hundred squares representing the interior rooms of the TARDIS. The middle two squares of the bottom row mark as the MASTER CONSOLE ROOM (where the Doctor Begins). Near the console room, select a square for each of the following rooms: Doctor's Room, Dormitories, Workshop, Stellarium, Sick bay, and Power room (the Laboratory and Galley share space in the Console Room; you will not need to mark separate rooms for these). The mark the middle two squares at the top row of the board as the CLOISTER ROOM (where Sabbath begins. The Doctor uses a set of the DOCTOR DECK from DOCTOR WHO: THE SABBATH DAYS. This will include all the cards, except: all space ships, space stations and TARDIS cards. Sabbath uses a set of the SABBATH DECK from DOCTOR WHO THE SABBATH DAYS. This deck will include all the cards except for: the Jonah and all space ship AND weapon cards. You will also need a ten sided die (1d10) and a token to represent the DOCTOR and SABBATH (I am certain, the Other would prefer the use of Chess pawns).

THE TURN 1. DRAW PHASE Each player draws three cards from their decks.

2. MOVEMENT PHASE Each player rolls a 1d10. If the roll is 1-9, the character may move 1 space, across, up, down, or diagonally. If the roll is a 10, then that character moves two spaces. The Doctor moves first, and then Sabbath moves.

692

3. CONFLICT PHASE If the Doctor and Sabbath end up in the same room as each other, a conflict occurs. The rules are the same as combat resolution in DOCTOR WHO THE SABBATH DAYS, including the opened ended 1d10 rule for the Doctor. All cards in the player's hands should be played down to modify their power score. If the Doctor wins this conflict, Sabbath must roll a 1d10, and move back towards the CLOISTER that many squares. If the Doctor losses the conflict, the Doctor must do the same, moving instead towards the CONSOLE ROOM though. However, if the Doctor played a room card (e.g., TARDIS LABORATORY) during the conflict resolution, then he retreats to that room instead. If either of the characters end up retreating outside the confines of the TARDIS (the game board), then that character looses the game.

4. DISCARD PHASE If their was no conflict that turn, then each player discards his hand.

OBJECT For the Doctor to win: Sabbath must be driven off the game board through a conflict, or the Doctor must successfully reach the

CLOISTER ROOM. For Sabbath to win: the Doctor must be driven off the game board through a conflict.

OPTIONAL RULES If you wish, room cards may be played outside of a CONFLICT to move the Doctor to that particular room. Also, Desperate Action Card may be played to jettison 25 rooms, randomly chosen by rolling the ten sided die twice as a 1d%.

DOCTOR WHO- REMNANT OF THE DALEKS BY SIR GERARD LUFT, KDM The last of the Daleks have invaded the TARDIS Console Room. And it’s up to the Eighth Doctor, Romana and K9 to stop them from taking over the TARDIS. Whoever controls the TARDIS controls all of Causality.

Introduction This game is played with two players. Each player begins with three characters cards and there own deck, as detailed below.

Set Up The Doctor Character Cards

Character Power Toughness Tap The Doctor 2 1 Romana 1 2 +2 Attack Draws to Doctor if in the same area K9 2 2 +1 Attack Draw to Doctor if in same area

The Dalek Character Cards

Character Power Toughness Tap Dalek 2 2 +1 Attack Draw to any Dalek in the same area Dalek 2 2 +1 Attack Draw to any Dalek in the same area Dalek 2 2 +1 Attack Draw to any Dalek in the same area

Deck Area Power # in Deck TARDIS Console Room 1 8 TARDIS Library 0 8 TARDIS Clock Garden 0 8 TARDIS Altar Room 0 8

Miniatures and Map If you have any problem keeping track of who is in what area each turn, draw up a map of the TARDIS and pull out your Doctor Who actions figures or miniatures! (As a matter of fact, these game rules were modified from a D20 Time Lord conversion we did. We created this system to better capture the fact that

697

the Doctor’s “attacks” are usually not combative per say. Additionally, the card system was created to better streamline an already streamlined system (i.e., D20))

The Turn 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49.

Each player lays his character cards (and miniatures) out face up before him. Then they draw a card from their deck for each of their characters, going right to left. The cards drawn indicate which area of the Console Room each individual character is that turn (If random location seems unrealistic, one merely needs to watch a few episodes of Doctor Who, Star Wars Episode IV, or any early seasons of Star Trek: the Next Generation, to see the heroes running “like chickens with their heads off” trying to save their derrières; it’s just the fun of true space operas!). If any character is in the same area with an opponent character, they may attack that opponent. (e.g., The Doctor, K9 and two Daleks are in the Library. Before a conflict occurs, players must decide if they wish to Tap (rotate 90 degrees/ AKA siding) a character to Support another character in the same area (e.g., K9 taps to support the Doctor, and one Dalek taps to support the other Dalek. Characters tapped due to damage taken in previous turns can not be tapped to support. The attacking characters must choose their targets. A character that is tapped to support can not be targeted. If there is a character that is tapped due to damage, then that character can be targeted. Only characters tapping to support are exempted from being targeted. Players should take turn attacking. However all attacks are considered to be simultaneous. A player draws one card from their deck for each character attacking. The character can draw more than one card if any other characters are tapped to support him or her (e.g., Tapping Romana when in the same area as the Doctor allows the Doctor to draw two additional Attack Draws when he enters into a Conflict). Each card in the deck has a Power score (either 0 or 1). Take the character’s Power score and add that number of +1’s that he or she received from their attack draw(s). If the modified Power of the character attacking is greater than the Toughness score of their target, then that character has been injured. The first time a character is injured, that character card is tapped. For the remainder of the game, that injured character can not tap to support another card in the same area. Also, if that tapped character is successfully hit again, then it is removed from the game. After all conflicts have been resolved, characters that were tapped to support are untapped. The cards drawn for character location and Attack Draws are discarded. One does not need to reshuffle the discard pile each turn. But if one does, the probability balance will be much more accurate (this we found after doing some serious play testing with this game). The turn sequence repeats until all characters on one side are defeated. The player with the last “man” standing is the winner.

DODECA INTRODUCTION Abstract strategy

game. Similar to chess. Dice are used as pieces.

OBJECT Capture both of your opponents Dodecas.

THE BOARD The board is a 10 X 10 grid.

THE PIECES Dice are used as pieces. They are also referred to as units. Each player has a set of 20 dice. Dice come in many colors. The color schemes of the two opposing sets should easily set them apart. There are 4 types of dice: four sided Tetras, six sided Cubes, eight sided Octos, and ten sided Dodecas.

UNIT CHART # Name: Type: Abbreviation: 10 Tetras Four sided dice (D4) 4 Cubes Six sided dice (D6) 4 Octos Eight sided dice(D8) 2 Dodecas Ten sided dice (D10) # = Number of that dice in a set of 20.

Move: Orthogonal Diagonal Diagonal Orthogonal

Capture: Diagonal Orthogonal Diagonal Orthogonal

SETUP You set up your pieces on your back 2 rows. All 10 of your Tetras go on your second row. The order of your pieces on your back row: 6,6,8,8,10,10,8,8,6,6. Before each piece is placed on the board, the die is rolled, and is placed that face up. For example, you roll a 5 on a six sider. The die is placed on the board with the 5 face up. Four sided dice are read along the bottom edge.

RULES Players take turns. Roll high on a D10 to see who goes first. On your turn you may do one of 2 things: 1. Move one of your units and reset its face number 2. Reroll a die to reset its face number When you move a unit you must move it a number of spaces equal to the number on its top face. Tetras move orthogonally and capture diagonally. Cubes move diagonally and capture orthogonally. Octos move and capture diagonally

700

Dodecas move and capture orthogonally. Units may never jump over other units. You may not land on a friendly piece. If you land on an enemy piece you have captured it. Captured pieces are removed from the game. After a piece moves or captures its top face number must be changed +/- 1. For example a cube of face 5 captures. It can be rotated to the 4 or 6 face. For example a cube of face 6 moves. It must be rotated to the 5 face. Instead of moving you may roll one of your dice. The die is returned to its same space with the result of the roll face up. A player may not do two rerolls in a row unless he has no other possible move.

701

DOGS OF WAR INTRODUCTION Card game for 2-4+ players. Players build teams of Mercenaries (Mercs) and send them on missions.

OBJECTIVE The player with the most money at the end of the game wins. Players can keep their money hidden from each other.

SETUP Roll high on 1D6 to determine turn order. Each player starts with $100,000. Shuffle the deck. Each player is dealt 7 cards.

MONEY Use spare change. One penny = $1,000.

END OF GAME The game ends when a player goes to draw a card from the deck, and there are no cards left.

THE DECK Players share a common deck. There are three types of cards in the deck: 1. Mission Cards 2. Mercenary Cards 3. Action Cards

MISSION CARDS Mission cards contain 3 pieces of information: 1. A brief description of the mission. 2. The skill that applies to the mission. 3. The Danger level of the mission: Low, Medium, or High.

MERCENARY CARDS These are professional “Character” Mercenaries. Each Mercenary cards contain 3 pieces of information: 1. A brief description of the Mercenary: Name & Nationality 2. The Skills the Mercenary has. 3. The Fee the Mercenary charges to go on a mission. Unless killed, a mercenary can be used from mission to mission. When not on a mission the merc is kept face up in a ‘Base’ pile next

705

to the player that controls him.

ACTION CARDS Most of these affect combat in some way, others say when and how they are used.

BASIC MERCENARIES Use tokens or whatever to represent basic mercs. Basic mercs are relatively unskilled mercs hired on site in the third world countries where the missions take place. Basic mercs cost $5,000 each to recruit one Basic Merc Combat unit. Each unit may actually represent several soldiers. Basic Mercs stick around for only one mission. After it is over they disband, and the units are discarded. In combat each unit contributes one combat die and can sustain one casualty before being destroyed.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 7 phases: 1. Contacts Phase 2. Negotiations Phase 3. Recruitment Phase 4. Insertion Phase 5. Execution Phase 6. Extraction Phase 7. Debriefing Phase

CONTACTS PHASE The current or active player may draw 1 card. The active player may draw an extra card for $10,000.

NEGOTIATIONS PHASE The player may choose to conduct a mission. The player plays a mission card from his hand onto the table face up. The player rolls to determine the fee he negotiates: Mission Danger Level Low = 2D6 X $10,000 Mission Danger Level Medium = 4D6 X $10,000 Mission Danger Level High= 6D6 X $10,000 If after the roll is made, the player does not like the roll, he may choose to not take the mission. If a mission is not taken, another player may take the mission and put it into his hand. If no one wants the mission it is discarded. If more than one other player wants the mission, those players may make a money bid for it. The bid is secret. Only the winner pays. The bid winner gets the card. The active player may go on only one mission on his turn. If the active player chooses not to take a mission, his turn ends. Payment is made in Debriefing Phase, if the mission is completed successfully.

RECRUITMENT PHASE The active player assembles his team of mercenaries.

706

There must be at least one Merc minimum. The team can have a maximum of 12 mercenaries: Basic and Character. At least one merc on a team must be a character merc to act as a Leader. Basic Mercs cost $5000 to recruit. Character mercs have their fee written on their card. The character merc may be from the players hand or ‘Base’ pile. There is an extra fee of $5000 if no character merc has the Pilot skill.

INSERTION PHASE Roll to determine the number of enemy units present at the mission that must be defeated: Mission Danger Level Low = 1D6 Mission Danger Level Medium = 2D6 Mission Danger Level High= 3D6 Enemy units are similar to Basic merc units. Use tokens or chits to represent Enemy units. Each enemy unit can represent several soldiers, squads, defenses, weapon systems, or vehicles. One random opponent is chosen to be in control of the enemy units.

EXECUTION PHASE Execution or Combat phase is broken down into turns. During each turn the enemy units roll one combat die (CD) each. Use six siders (D6) for Combat Dice. During each turn every merc unit rolls one combat die each. Some skills allow character mercs to gain extra combat dice rolls. Combat Action cards may be played for a variety of effects. Each side may play up to 2 action cards per combat turn. Most cards allow a side to gain extra combat dice rolls. For each DC roll made a result of 4-6 inflicts one casualty on the other side. A roll of 1-3 has no effect. Casualties are inflicted simultaneously. For each casualty inflicted on the enemy discard an enemy unit. For each casualty inflicted on the mercs discard a basic merc unit or a character merc card. Basic mercs become casualties before Character mercs. Combat ends when one side is completely killed off. At the end of a combat turn the active player may choose to abort the mission. If a mission is aborted the character mercs return to base, and the mission card is discarded. At the end of execution phase all enemy and basic merc units are discarded. At the end of execution phase all surviving Character mercs return to base. If the Merc team has the skill listed on the mission card the merc side gets +2 Combat Dice per combat turn.

EXTRACTION PHASE For 1-4 5-6 Add

each Character merc that became a casualty in mission phase roll 1D6: The merc was killed, maimed, or captured. (Discard) The merc was wounded, escaped, retreated. (Goes to base pile) +1 to the roll if one of the mercs had Medic skill.

DEBRIEFING PHASE If all enemy units were destroyed and there were surviving Character mercs, the mission is successfully completed, and the player may collect the Mission payment fee. Between turns players may trade cards and money.

DR WHO INTRODUCTION Players take the role of Renegade Time Lords working for the Celestial Intervention Agency. Players must work cooperatively to foil the plots of Temporal Marauders. The goals of Temporal Marauders are the destruction or conquest of Gallifrey, Nexus point Earth, or the Universe.

TIME LORDS Each Time Each If a

player is Lords are Time Lord Time Lord

a Gallifreyan Time Lord (Like Dr Who). also referred to as Field Agents. has 9 lives, a particularity of Gallifreyan biology. loses all 9 of his lives, he is out of the game.

THE DECKS There are two decks in the game: The Time Lord Deck, and the Temporal Marauder Deck. All players share both decks.

TEMPORAL MARAUDER DECK There are two types of cards in the Temporal Marauder Deck: Marauders, and Plot Twists. Plot Twists add to the Power of a Marauder card placed on top of them.

DICE & COUNTERS Ten sided dice are required. Counters are used as ‘plot tokens’ and to keep track of lives.

WINNING THE GAME If the players go completely through the Temporal Marauder Deck and defeat all the Marauders, they share a combined win. The player with the most lives + cards in his Victory pile is the first place winner. The next is the second place winner, and so on.

LOSING THE GAME If any Marauder Card ever gets 4 plot tokens on it, the time line is irreversibly disrupted, resulting in universal disaster. Time and Space unravel. All players lose. Game over.

TURN SEQUENCE Each turn has 4 phases: 1. Aid Phase 2. Marauder Phase 3. Mission Phase

722

4. Plot Phase

AID PHASE Each player draws 3 cards from the Time Lord Deck. If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard pile and draw from it. A player may discard 2 cards to draw 1 card. Players may trade cards. Max hand size = 9. Discard excess cards.

MARAUDER PHASE Draw one card from the Temporal Marauder Deck for each Time Lord. Place these cards face up in the center of the Table. If any of the cards are Plot Twist Cards, draw another Temporal Marauder card and place it on top. Continue until all Plot Twists are covered by a Marauder card. All of these cards are considered to be in play.

MISSION PHASE Each player gets one Action Segment in Mission Phase. Players roll high on 1D10 to determine Segment order. A player may use his action segment to draw 3 cards. A player may use his action segment to attempt to defeat any one Marauder in play (A Mission). Resolve the attempt as follows: The Time Lord and the Marauder must determine and compare their respective Power Totals. To get a Power Total, each side rolls 1D10. These are the Power Rolls. The Time Lord may discard cards from his hand to add their Power to his Power Total. If the Time Lord rolled a 10, he may add another 1D10 to his Total. The Marauder adds its inherent power to the roll. The Marauder adds the power of all its Plot Twists to its Total. Compare the Power Totals. Higher Total wins. If the Marauder won, the Time Lord loses one life, and the Marauder remains in play. If the Time Lord wins, he lives, and puts the Marauder card and its Plot Twists into his Victory Pile. If it is a tie, the Time Lord is not killed, and the Marauder remains in play. If the Time Lord won, he gets an extra action segment that can be used this phase only to attempt to defeat another Marauder in play. A Time lord can only get one extra action segment per turn this way.

COOPERATIVE MISSIONS Players may cooperate and go on a mission jointly. Each Time Lord that goes uses up an action segment. Additional Time Lords may use cards and add 1D10 each to the Power Total of the First. If they succeed no one gets any extra action segments. Roll high on 1D10 to see which Time Lord gets to put the cards into his Victory pile. If they fail, they all lose a life.

PLOT PHASE Place one Plot Token on each Marauder card in play.

VICTORY If the Dragon is reduced to 0 or less Hit Points the Slayers win. If all party members are killed, the Dragon wins.

HIT POINTS The Dragon has 10 hit points. Party Members (Slayers: Heroes & Men-at-Arms) have 1 hit point each. Each unblocked attack by the Dragon will kill one party member. Unblocked attacks by Slayers cause 1 or more hit points of damage to the Dragon.

PARTY GENERATION The Slayer rolls 8 times on the Recruitment table: The Slayer records on a piece of paper the composition of the party. Artifacts must be assigned to a hero that can use the artifact.

RECRUITMENT TABLE 1D6 1 2 3 4 5 6

TURN SEQUENCE The turn is divided into 3 Phases: 1. Draw Phase 2. Slayer Phase 3. Dragon Phase

DRAW PHASE The Slayer player draws 3 cards from the Slayer Deck. The Dragon player draws 3 cards from the Dragon Deck. If a deck runs out shuffle the discard and draw from it. Maximum hand size is 7 cards. Discard excess cards.

SLAYER PHASE The party may attack the Dragon. To make an attack, an attack card must be discarded from the players hand. The party may make multiple attacks. There must also be one party member alive who can make the attack. For example: To make a spell attack the party must have at least one Wizard. Both Warriors & Men-at-Arms may make Sword Attacks. A party member may make only one attack per turn. For example: If you have 2 Wizards you could make 2 spell attacks per turn. Each attack does a base of 1 point of damage to the Dragon. Some cards indicate they do a base 2 points of damage. Warriors inflict an additional point of damage when they attack. Some artifacts increase the amount of damage done by an attack. The Dragon player may block an attack by discarding a Blocking Card that targets the attack type. For example: The Dragon player may discard a ‘Magic Resistance’ card to negate a spell attack.

DRAGON PHASE The Dragon may attack the party. To make an attack, an attack card must be discarded from the players hand. The Dragon may make multiple attacks. The Dragon may only use one attack type once per turn. For example: The Dragon may not make 2 Firebreath attacks in one turn. The Dragon may only use one body part to make one attack type once per turn. For example: The Bite and Firebreath attacks are both ‘Mouth’ attacks so only one may be used. The Slayer player may block an attack by discarding a Blocking Card that matches the target type. For example: The Slayer may discard a ‘Shield’ card to negate an attack vs a Warrior or a Man-at-Arms. Each attack targets one party member. Dragons must attack Men-at-Arms first. After all the Men-at-Arms are killed the Dragon may attack Warriors next. After all the Warriors are killed the Dragon may attack Archers & Wizards.

DUEL OF IRON INTRODUCTION Civil War era tactical combat simulation. Players each control one or more Ironclads. The rules are for the basic scenario, in which one player controls the Confederate Merrimac, and one player controls the Union Monitor.

THE MAP Use a hex map. Indicate which spaces are land and which are water. Indicate whether water spaces are shallow or deep.

PIECES Six, eight, and ten sided dice are needed. Use cardboard counters (chits) to represent the ships. Draw an arrow on the chits to indicate the forward facing.

SETUP The ships are placed at opposite ends of the map.

TURN SEQUENCE Initiative Phase Move Phase Attack Phase Penetration Phase Damage Phase Ramming Phase End Phase

INITIATIVE PHASE The Monitor rolls 1D8. The Merrimac rolls 1D6. Reroll ties. The ship with the lower Initiative roll moves first in move phase. All to-hit and damage rolls are simultaneous.

MOVE PHASE Each ship makes a "move" roll. The Monitor gets 1D6+1 move points. The Merrimac gets 1D8-3 move points. A move point can be used to move forward 1 space. A move point can be used to change the ships facing by one hex face. Shallow water hexes can be moved into by expending 2 move points. Ships cannot enter land spaces. The Monitor could do 7 knots compared to the Merrimacs 5 knots. The Merrimac drew 22 feet compared to the Monitors 10 feet. The Merrimac would more often get stuck in shallow water.

757

Neither ship was Seaworthy. Both would sink in a bad storm.

ATTACK PHASE Short range is within 2 hexes. Medium range is 4 hexes. Long range is a maximum of 8 hexes. Each ship has four 90 degree arcs: Bow, Stern, Port, and Starboard. The Monitor can attack with its 2 cannons out of its Stern, Port, or Starboard arcs. The Monitor cannot attack out of its Bow arc. (It would hit its own pilothouse) The Merrimac can fire one cannon from its Bow and Stern arcs. The Merrimac can fire a broadside of four cannons from its Port or Starboard arcs. Attacking cannons must make a "To-hit" roll. Roll 1D100 using 2 ten sided dice. This gives a number between 1 and 100. The Monitor has an 80% to hit at the Merrimac short range. The Monitor has an 40% to hit the Merrimac at medium range. The Monitor has an 20% to hit the Merrimac at long range. The Merrimac has an 40% to hit the Monitor at short range. The Merrimac has an 20% to hit the Monitor at medium range. The Merrimac has an 10% to hit the Monitor at long range. The Monitor was a much smaller target.

PENETRATION PHASE The Monitor had two 11 inch Dahlgren guns. (also called the soda-water bottle) The Merrimac had 10 guns, the largest of which were 9 inch. Cannons that made a successful to-hit roll now make a "Penetration" roll. This is also a percentage roll. Short range shots from the Monitor have a base 21% to damage the Merrimac. Medium range shots from the Monitor have a base 14% to damage the Merrimac. Long range shots from the Monitor have a base 7% to damage the Merrimac. Short range shots from the Merrimac have a base 15% to damage the Monitor. Medium range shots from the Merrimac have a base 10% to damage the Monitor. Long range shots from the Merrimac have a base 5% to damage the Monitor. Historically, the Merrimac left its solid steel ammo on the dock in Norfolk in favor of explosive shells which were more effective against wooden ships. Optionally, you may allow the Merrimac to have its solid shot. This doubles the Merrimacs base chance to damage the Monitor at all ranges. Historically, the Monitor used only half the powder it could have because the guns were experimentally new and untested. Optionally, you may allow the Monitor to use double charges. This doubles the Monitors base chance to damage the Merrimac at all ranges.

DAMAGE PHASE If a shot from the Monitor damages the Merrimac roll 1D6 on the following table: 1D6 Location Effect 1 Rudder Move roll -2 2 Crack Hull All future penetration rolls at +5% 3 Cannon Lose 1 cannon; The Merrimac has 10 cannon 4 Casualties Lose 1 crew; The Merrimac has 5 crew 5 Leak Move roll -1 6 Smokestack Move roll -1 If the Merrimac accumulates -5 damage to its Move roll it becomes disabled. The placement of guns on the Merrimac can be switched. Crack Hull: One cracked hull result would give the Monitor a 12% chance to damage the Merrimac on its penetration roll at long range, instead of 7%. All damage is cumulative. Two cracked hull results would bring it up to 17%. If a shot from the Merrimac damages the Monitor roll 1D6 on the following table:

758

1D6 Location Effect 1 Pilot House Move roll -2 2 Crack Hull All future penetration rolls at +5% 3 Cannon Lose 1 cannon; The Monitor has 2 cannon 4 Casualties Lose 1 crew; The Monitor has 2 crew 5 Leak Move roll -1 6 Turret Jams If the Monitor accumulates -7 damage to its Move roll it becomes disabled. If the turret jams, the Monitor can only attack out of the arc it is currently facing for the rest of the game. Optionally, the gunners are no longer disorientated by the merry-go-round turret and their base chance to hit is increased by 5% at all ranges.

RAMMING PHASE If the Merrimac is adjacent to the Monitor and facing it, the Merrimac may attempt to ram. Roll 1D8 on the Following table: 1D8 Result Effect 1-4 Monitor swerves away None 5 Glancing blow The Merrimac recieves a Leak damage result 6-7 Solid blow The Monitor gets 1D3 Leak damage results 8 Drive her under The Monitor sinks The Merrimac also had a fifteen-hundred pound, plow shaped iron ram that broke off in the belly of the Union war sloop, the Cumberland. Optionally, you may allow the Merrimac to retain its ram. This gives the Merrimac +1 to rolls on this table.

END PHASE Also called Victory Determination Phase. If a ship is disabled, the other ship wins. A ship is disabled if it cannot move, or it loses all of its crew or cannon.

GAME DESIGNERS NOTES The sinking of the Minnesota is not included as a victory condition for the South because it would be too easy, even though it didn't happen in real life. In scenarios with multiple ships, the Merrimacs can fire a maximum of four guns per turn. Quantity of Ammo is not a consideration. The Monitor did not have to reload until after 3 hours of fighting. In the real battle, neither ship was disabled. The Monitor wandered off after her captain was hurt. (the only casualty) The Merrimac retreated shortly after because the tide was going out. The Monitor was also known as "Ericsson's Folly" and was described as a "tin can on a shingle" or a "cheesebox on a raft." The Civil war saw many more Ironclads, and battles between them, by the wars end.

DUNE CCG VARIANT SOLO RULES By C Gerard Luft (SEE THE LAST SECTION FOR PLAYING WITH OUT DUNE CARDS)

SET UP You will need a deck of DUNE CCG card (with an equal amount of cards from each Allegiance) and a paper and pencil.

TURN The turn consists of drawing one card. You start the game with the CALADAN Homeworld card (you're a vassal of the late Duke Leto Atredies). Your Allegiance is as follows in the first column of the table below. In the Second Column your opponent Allegiance are list: Player's Allegiances Adversaries House Atredies Houses Harkonnen & Corrino Bene Gesserit Sisterhood The Guild Fremen House Harkonnen Water Seller's Union Spice Miner's Guild Dune Smugglers The Guild You begin with five spice tokens. When you draw a card each turn, the only figures you need to apply are cost and Allegiance. In this variant of the rules, the cost is how many spice tokens you receive or loose. If the card is of your allegiances or is a "N/A", you gain its cost in spice tokens. If the card is of the adversary Allegiances, then its cost is how many spice tokens you loose.

WINNING You win when you obtain 20 spice tokens (adjust to a lower amount if you have a smaller deck). If, at any time during the game, you are reduced to zero spice tokens, you loose.

PLAYING WITHOUT DUNE CARDS If you do not have a deck, you can use the DUNE CCG CARD SNOOPER, available free at the link below: Click Here Using the FIND IT section to view the entire card list, roll 1d1000 (3 ten sided dice: 1sr die is hundreds, 2nd dice is tens, and 3rd dice is ones). Reroll any number above 662. Then find the card's number. That card is the card you have drawn for this turn.

TURN SEQUENCE Each turn is divided into 5 phases: Draw Phase Search Phase Encounter Phase Resolution Phase Treasure Phase

DRAW PHASE 765

Each player fills their hand to 8 cards from their own deck. If the deck runs out shuffle the discard and draw from it.

SEARCH PHASE Each player may discard up to 4 cards and draw replacements.

ENCOUNTER PHASE First the PP may play one or more Treasure Cards Second, the DM plays one of the following: 1. Nothing 2. A meld of 1 or more Creature Cards. 3. One Trap Card. The DM may also play one Room card. The PP may play a "Secret passage" card to discard a card played by the GM.

RESOLUTION PHASE The PP plays nothing if the DM played nothing. The PP may play a Stealth card to eliminate a Trap card if the DM played a Trap card. If the DM played a trap card and the PP did not play a Stealth card, one random hero is killed. If the DM played a meld of Creature cards add up the “Fight” value of all the creatures. All creatures in the Meld must be of the same type, for instance they must all be Undead, or they must all be Goblinkin. “X” type creatures may not meld. Some Room cards add to the Fight total. The PP may play attribute cards to fight the Meld. The PP may play one Attribute cards on each of his heroes. The Attribute card must match one of the heroes’ attributes. Gain “Fight” points equal to the heroes level in that attribute. For Example: If you play Sword on the Barbarian you get 2 Fight points. Some cards give an additional bonus vs certain types of creatures. Add up the Fight point total of the entire party (Minimum = 1). If the Creature total is equal to or less than the party total, no heroes are killed. If the Creature total is greater than the party total, one random hero is killed. If the Creature total is twice the party total, two random heroes are killed. If the Creature total is three times the party total, three random heroes are killed, and so on. If any heroes are killed discard all the Treasure cards played. If all the heroes are killed the DM wins the Game.

TREASURE PHASE The PP may claim Treasure cards still in play. Treasures are placed in the PP's Treasure pile. If the Party ever gains 50+ Treasure points the PP automatically wins. Play a Prisoner card to gain a new Hero. If you have a hero with the Heal attribute Play a Heal Card to gain back any Hero killed this turn. If you have a hero with the Shield attribute Play a Shield Card to gain back any Hero killed this turn.

This means that you can save up to 2 heroes killed if you play an Armor card on this character? No. If you play an armor card you can either add 2 Fight points (If the character had only Armor x1 then just add 1) or save one character. Add the points if it'll make the difference, otherwise use the card to avoid a casualty. The extra level of armor adds to the fight total, but does not affect the special ability. 2) Stealth x2 attribute: since the DM can only play 1 trap how do you use the x2? As above. If you play a stealth card you can either add 2 Fight points (If the character had only Stealth x1 then just add 1) or negate 1 Trap.

OBSTACLES Additional Material by Zak add a new DM card type, Obstacles. Obstacles have a Fight Value like creatures and can be played by the DM as a 4th option (instead of playing traps, creatures or nothing). The resolution phase against Obstacles is the same as the vs Creatures case: the only difference is that if the DM win the PP only loose his treasure (no kills). In alternative the PP can play a stealth card to eliminate an obstacle Add the following cards to the DM deck # Name: Fight 1 Portcullis 5 1 Collapsed Floor 4 2 Reinforced door 3 Add to the PP deck 1 stealth card.

DURABLE GOODS INTRODUCTION Economics Game. Players buy raw materials, manufacture products, and then sell them.

RAW MATERIALS DECK The decks consist of 80 cards or chits The deck contains 20 each of the following raw materials: Wood Plastic Metal Fabric

MANUFACTURED GOODS DECK Also called Durable Goods. Use chits or cards to represent the following manufactured goods: -Houses -Furniture -Cars -Appliances -Clothing

OBJECTIVE Be the first player to accumulate $500.

TURN SEQUENCE 1. Raw Materials Phase 2. Production Phase 3. Selling Phase

SETUP Each player starts with $50 and no raw materials or products.

RAW MATERIALS PHASE Scarce raw materials become available. Draw 12 Raw material cards and place them in 4 piles according to the four types of materials. Players make a separate bid for each pile. Bids are written down in secret on a scrap piece of paper. A player cannot bid more money than he owns. If he does, none of his bids count. All bids are revealed simultaneously. The player who bid the most for a pile gets to keep the pile, and must pay his bid price. Players who lost a bid do not have to pay. Players may trade or purchase raw materials or goods from each other at any time

769

PRODUCTION PHASE One unit of a durable good may be manufactured using the indicated amount of raw materials: Durable Good Metal Wood Plastic Fabric House 1 2 0 0 Furniture 0 2 0 1 Car 2 0 1 0 Appliances 1 0 2 0 Clothing 0 0 1 2 A player may manufacture as many durable goods as he has material available. A player may make only one type of durable good per turn. Use chits or cards to represent durable goods.

SELLING PHASE The Maximum Market value of the first unit of a good sold is $50 If only one player is selling he automatically gets the maximum value If more than one player is selling they must bid to sell at a lower price. The player that quotes the lowest price makes the sale. The Maximum Market value of the second unit of a good sold is $40 The Maximum Market value of the third unit of a good sold is $30 The Maximum Market value of the fourth and greater unit of a good sold is $20 Use paper and pencil to record profits.

EAGLES OF GLORY READY AIM FIRE - Custom Variant By "Ian Milnes" and "Alexander Herklotz" [email protected] [email protected]

INTRODUCTION Two player Card game depicting Napoleonic era warfare.

THE DECKS There are 3 decks: The Battalion decks cards are chosen from an army list. Note that both opponents choose the same timeframe. Minimum number of cards is 25, maximum 50. Note that there is a budget for every card. The difference of budgets of the opposing decks may not exceed 10% (The player with the higher budget has to drop some cards to be in range of the allowed budget). Multinational armies are allowed, as long as a nation is not in both decks. Units of different nationalities may not stack together. Generals of other nations may command allied units. The Tactics deck. The Commander Decks have also an army list. Choose up to 6 commanders. Note that they also have a budget, which is added to the overall budget of the battalion decks. The Tactics deck has 1 of each card in the list, and 2 of each Terrain card

SETUP Each player creates his Battalion deck. Each player forms a line of 5 stacks of cards, starting maximum as noted. The opposing lines face each other. These stacks are called: Stack: Start Max Card Limit Left Flank 2 5 Left Centre 3 6 Centre 3 6 Right Centre 3 6 Right Flank 2 5 Place Battalion cards up to the starting maximum card limit face down in each stack. Line Infantry and Artillery may be placed in Centre stacks. Cavalry, Light Infantry and Horse Artillery may be placed in any stacks. Heavy cavalry may not be placed in any stack at the start of the game. Shuffle the appropriate Commander Deck, deal yourself 6 cards, and add them to your Reserve deck. Shuffle your Reserve Deck, and deal yourself a hand of 5 cards. Once both players have completed above, turn cards in your stacks face up. They will remain face up for the first turn only. After the first turn, all cards are played face down, representing the “Fog of War”.

VICTORY CONDITIONS The first player to be routed from 3 of his 5 forward positions loses.

772

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 6 phases: Draw Phase Terrain Phase 3. Reinforce Phase 4. Attack Phase 5. Morale Phase 6. Discard and Redraw Phase

DRAW PHASE Draw 2 cards from your Reserve Deck. If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it. The maximum hand size is 7. Cards in your hand over the maximum do not have to be discarded until the Discard/Redraw Phase.

TERRAIN PHASE You may play a Terrain card onto an appropriate stack. Terrain cards remain in effect for the entire game

REINFORCE PHASE You may move any or all battalions from your hand to any of your stacks. All reinforcements from your hand go to the bottom of the stack they reinforce. Prior to the above, you may reorganise one stack, and move one card from a stack to an adjacent stack. You may move any card in a stack (You are not limited to the top one)

ATTACK PHASE You may make up to as many attacks per turn, as the command rating of your army commander. You may chose to fire attack or melee attack. The respective values are used. Your battalions are the attackers. Your opponent's battalions are the defenders. To attack, flip the top card of one of your stacks face up. Your opponent flips the card in his line opposite to it over. Both players roll two ten-sided dice. These are called the Attack rolls. Add combat modifier (fire or melee) to die roll and compare the difference between the 2 rolls. Apply the result as follows: (Attacker to Defender) Difference: Result: +11 or greater Defender eliminated, morale check for other battalions in stack +6 Defender Routs +3 Defender Shaken 0 Both Battalion cards take immediate morale check. Battalion Shaken if test failed -3 Attacker Shaken -6 Attacker Routs -11 or worse Attacker eliminated, morale check for other battalions in stack In fire attacks, attacker takes no negative effects, if defenders fire value = 0.

NOTES Card eliminated - remove card from play

773

Card Routs - place card in discard pile Card Shaken - turn card through 900 Card now fights with -3 modifier.

SUPPORT One battalion in the same stack as the attacker/defender can provide support to the battling card. Add +3 to the respective die roll. If the supported card is eliminated, the supporter routs. If the supported card is routed, the supporter is shaken. A Shaken card cannot offer support and fights with -3.

INFANTRY VS CAVALRY Infantry cannot melee-attack cavalry. Both cards are placed at the bottom of their stacks, and the attack counts against the number of attacks that turn. When infantry fire-attacks cavalry, the cavalry can avoid the attack by rolling equal or less then their training value. If they pass, they ride away (move to an adjacent stack), If they fail, they are blown. Alternatively Cavalry can try to melee-attack the infantry by rolling equal or less than their moral value. If they pass, its a melee with the cavalry as attacker. If they fail, they are shaken and fire-fight with the negative modifier.

FORMING SQUARE When cavalry attack infantry, before the combat is resolved, the infantry must attempt to form square. This is accomplished by the infantry rolling equal or less than their training value with 2D6 (e.g. for a French line infantry card to form square, it must roll a 7 or less.). If the infantry form square, they fight the combat at +6. If they fail to form square, the cavalry fight the combat at +6. The cavalry have a chance to abort the attack if the infantry form square by rolling less than their training value with 2D6 (e.g. for a French Hussar Regiment to abort an attack on a square, it must roll a 7 or less). If this roll is achieved, they can “ride around” the square and not attack it. This counts against the number of attacks that can be made that turn. If the cavalry fail this roll, they must attack the square.

CAVALRY Cavalry are considered Blown following an attack, or after defense against opposing Cavalry. Place a Blown marker on the card. The Blown status remains until removed by a successful Training Check. The first opportunity for a Training Check to remove Blown status is the Morale Phase in your next turn, i.e. not your current turn. Blown cavalry may not move, attack or support, when attacked they fight with -5.

ARTILLERY When Artillery attacks, the opposing fire value =0. Artillery cannot be eliminated, routed, or shaken when Fire-ATTACKING Infantry and Cavalry, ie, ignore all -ve combat results. Arty can not melee-attack. Arty can not attack, when just moved.

HORSE ARTILLERY 774

As artillery EXCEPT they can attack the turn they moved.

NOTES Destroyed battalions are removed from play. Surviving battalions are placed face down on the bottom of their stack. Tactics cards that modify the Attack roll are played before the roll is made. Tactics cards are discarded immediately when played (to the discard pile).

FLANK ATTACKS If you destroy all the cards in one of your opponents stacks, the battalions in your stack facing the empty stack get to flank attack the enemy stacks adjacent to the empty stack. Battalions making Flank attacks are +4 to their Attack roll, but may not attack the enemy reserve stack. Cavalry regiments making Flank attacks are +7 to their Attack roll (melee-attacks only) and may attack any enemy stack. Artillery cards do not gain the bonus, although they may Flank Attack.

MORALE PHASE (Simultaneous) Every time you destroy an opposing battalion all other units in the stack must take a morale check by rolling 1D10. To pass a moral check, the player must roll the units moral value or less. Any card that routs is placed in the Discard Pile. Any card that routs as a consequence of a failed moral check results in a further +1 to the moral check of any remaining cards in the stack who have yet to test. This modifier is cumulative. Morale checks are done in stack order, ie top card first, then next down, etc, etc. If a Guard unit (GI, GLI, GC or GLC) is eliminated, any adjacent stack (in addition to the normal moral check for the elimination of a unit), must take a morale check. If the Guard are routed, the stack from which they routed must take a morale check. Shaken cards can be “revived” by a successful morale check (turn them back through 900). All shaken cards can test in this phase. If a Shaken card is to be “revived” in the presence of a Commander card, the commander adds his command rating to the moral value of the unit. A General can add this rating only once per turn.

DISCARD AND REDRAW PHASE One card in the players hand can be discarded. The Players hand is then either made back up to 7 cards by drawing from the deck, or reduced to 7 by discarding cards.

DIVISIONAL GENERALS Each general has a command rating for moral tests. The general may add this bonus only once per turn. If the general is the only card in a stack, he is eliminated automatically if attacked.

ARMY COMMANDER The Army Commander is placed behind the front stacks. His rating determines the number of attacks per turn. The Army Commander can take over a stack if a Divisional General is killed. He is then subject to all the rules pertaining to Divisional Generals.

775

The Army Commander moves onto a stack in the reinforcement phase. This move does not count against the number of reinforcements the player may make. If the Army Commander is killed, the entire army takes a morale check against their moral -1. Any cards in the front line that fail, are eliminated (they quit the battlefield) rather than go to the reserve stack. Any further morale checks for the remainder of the battle are checked against the card morale -1.

EGYPT INTRODUCTION Card game simulating 3000 years of rule by the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt.

CARD LIST # Name 7 Hieroglyph 7 Slaves 7 The Nile 7 Temples 7 Chariots 7 Pharaohs 7 Pyramid 7 The Gods 7 Ankhs # = number of cards in

Point Value 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Wild the deck of that type.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns Draw Phase Control Phase Dynasty Phase End Phase

DRAW PHASE All players draw enough cards to fill their hands to 7 cards.

CONTROL PHASE Simultaneously, each player reveals one meld, if they have one. A meld is 2 or more cards of the same type. Ankh cards are wild. Only one meld is revealed (of the players choice), even if the player has more melds. A player may decide not to reveal a meld, even if they have one or more melds. The meld with the most cards wins control of Egypt. If two or more melds have the same number of cards, then the cards with the highest point value wins. If point values are tied, then no one wins. If no one reveals a meld or no one wins then the last player to control Egypt wins. If the game is just beginning and no one has controlled Egypt yet, then the turn ends. First example: John plays 2 Hieroglyph cards (value = 0) and Randy plays 2 God cards (value = 7). Randy wins. Second example: John plays 3 Hieroglyph cards and Randy plays 2 God cards. John wins.

DYNASTY PHASE The controller of Egypt draws one random card from any players hand. The current controller of Egypt may play one or more melds this phase. Each meld played earns that player tribute points equal to the point value of all cards played.

789

For example: The controller plays 4 chariot cards (value 4) and 3 pharaoh cards (value 5). He gets 16 (4 X 4) tribute points for the chariots and 15 (3 X 5) points for the pharaohs. There are 2 special melds that can be played in Dynasty phase: Pyramid Builders combo: 1 card each: Pharaoh, Slaves, Pyramid (12 points) Priests combo: 1 card each: Temple, Hieroglyph, God (10 points)

END PHASE All melds played this turn go to the discard. Players may discard up to 3 cards. Players must discard down to 5 cards.

END OF GAME The game ends after 10 turns. Each turn represents 300 years. If the deck runs out before the 10th turn, shuffle the cards and keep playing.

VICTORY The player with the most accumulated tribute points at the end of the game is the winner.

DESIGNING THE CARDS There are 63 cards in the deck. Seven of each of nine types. All cards have the same backs. Each card must have on its front, its name and numerical value. Each card can have unique illustrations and writings. For example: Research hieroglyphs and use a different one for each hieroglyph card. Some gods from Egyptian mythology: Ra the sun god Anubis, guardian of the dead Bast the cat goddess Horus the avenger Isis the goddess of fertility Osiris the god of nature Thoth the god of knowledge Ptah the creator of the universe Set the god of evil Some Pharaohs from the history book: King Menes (United upper and lower Egypt) Zoser (King of the third Egyptian dynasty) Cheops (King of the fourth Egyptian dynasty) Amosis (Liberated Egypt from the Hyksos) Amenhotep, Thutmose (& Hatshepsut), Ikhnaton Tutankhamen, Seti, Ramses, Ptolemy, Cleopatra

ELDER THINGS & OUTER GODS INTRODUCTION Card game for 2-6 players. Each player takes control of one of the six major races.

PREFACE During the 2 billion year time period before the evolution of man, many different alien species, races, and entities have made Earth their home. Of these, there are six groups who stand out as being the most numerous and most powerful. These groups of colonizers include: 1. The Elder Things 2. Cthulhu and his Spawn 3. The Flying Polyps 4. The Great Race of Yith 5. Mi-go, the Fungi from Yuggoth (Pluto) 6. The Serpent People All of these races fought each other for dominance on the planet. Often they would summon beings from other places, times, and dimensions to help them fight their Wars.

OBJECT Destroy all of your opponent’s cities.

COUNTERS Each player gets a set of counters of a unique color. A counter set includes 3 types of units: 1. Cities 2. Populations 3. Relics

SET-UP Each player starts with 5 cities and 20 Populations.

NOTES Mi-Go cities are mountain-top mining colonies. The cities of the Flying Polyps were composed of giant windowless black basalt towers.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 7 phases: 1. Recruit Phase 2. Aggression Phase 3. Power Phase 4. Sacrifice Phase 5. Allies Phase 6. War Phase 7. Destruction Phase

791

RECRUIT PHASE The active player rolls once on the Recruitment Table.

RECRUITMENT TABLE 1D8 1-3 4-5 6 7 8

Gain: 1 Population Counter 2 Population Counters 3 Population Counters 1 Relic 1 City

AGGRESSION PHASE The active player rolls once on the Conflict Table.

CONFLICT TABLE 1D6 1-2 3-4 5-6

Action: Isolation (Peace): Your turn ends. War of Survival: Attack a random player this turn. War of Submission: Attack a player of your choice this turn.

POWER PHASE The Active player (attacker) and the defender fill their hands to 5 cards.

SACRIFICE PHASE The attacker and defender commit as many population counters and relics as they want to the upcoming battle. A player cannot commit more populations and relics than he currently has. Committed populations are referred to as armies.

ALLIES PHASE Other players (Not the attacker or defender) may add one or more of their own Population counters to an army of their choice.

WAR PHASE For each population committed, roll once on that race’s Battle Table. A Battle Table roll will result in either a Force value, or the option to use a spell. For each relic played one additional spell may be used. To use a Spell, play a spell card to the table from your hand. Every Spell card has a force value. Each side of the conflict adds up their Total Force Value received from Battle Rolls and Spells.

DESTRUCTION PHASE The side with the highest Total Force Value wins the War. The loser has one city destroyed. All populations, spells, and relics used in the battle by all players are

destroyed and discarded.

TERMS Attack Dice- The unit rolls this many D6 in battle. Every roll of 1 destroys one opposing unit of the defenders choice. Psychic- When in battle this unit rolls on the Psychic Attacks Table to potentially get additional attack dice. Jumpships- The only way to get around. A jumpship can carry up to 3 nuclear arsenals/army units and any number of Nobles. Jumpships have a maximum range of 3 hexes. They must begin and end their movement in a planetary system. If destroyed, all on board are also destroyed. Nobles- The leaders of a House. An army unit commanded by a Noble gets +1 Attack Dice and First strike. If the unit is destroyed in battle, the Noble is too, if there are no other friendly armies remaining. Self Transport- These units have their own jumpships. If they are destroyed their jumpships are also lost. They cannot transport other troops or Nukes. First Strike- These units roll their Attack dice before the other

801

units. All first strike dice are rolled simultaneously. And then all other attacks are rolled simultaneously. Defenders- These units cannot leave their planet of origin. Cost- The cost in income to purchase the unit. Units of income are called ‘Solats'. Nuclear Arsenals- ‘Nukes' can be launched from jumpships or the ground. They can target armies or a single jumpship. Once used they are destroyed.

This is repeated until one or both sides are eliminated. If all units are killed the defender remains in control of the planet. 9- NOBLE ACTIONS- See List 10- PLANET CONTROL- Take control of any planet you have armies on.

STACKING Any number of units may occupy the same hex. Battles occur when enemy units occupy the same hex.

NOBLE ACTIONS LIST A Noble that did not move or fight this turn may take a 'Noble' action. Noble actions are successful on a roll of 1 on 1D6. Some Allies can do Noble Actions. Nobles (& allies) do not have to be in the same system as their target. * Diplomacy: Take control of target World that has no enemy armies on it. * Assassination: Target noble killed. A player may only make one assassination attempt per turn. * Intrigue: Take control of target ally. If the ally provided armies or ships, you gain control of these. Only one intrigue attempt per turn. * Sabotage: Destroy target army, jumpship, or arsenal. * Govern: Income of world + 1D6-1D6; Automatic success, minimum +1 * Strategic Planning: Automatic success. +1 or -1 to Initiative roll next turn.

THE MAP Use a 10 x 10 hex grid. Homeworlds will be located in the corners.

802

Distribute the other 20 worlds by using the 1D10 to determine the coordinates. Only one world per hex. For additional ‘terrain' distribute Nebulas, blackholes, and supernovas. Jumpships cannot travel through these obstacles. Other terrain can include Imperial jump stations and Star systems with no planets. These spaces can be jumped to but they cannot be controlled and they provide no resources. Another possibility are Stargates that allow instant travel between distant regions of the map.

CHITS Use ‘chits' or counters to represent all units: allies, armies, jumpships, etc. Each player should have a set of blank 'control' marker chits of a unique color. Put control markers on worlds and unit stacks to indicate ownership. Ally chits are placed next to the owning player, not on the map.

SET UP Each player begins with: 1 Homeworld 3 Nobles 3 House Troops 3D6 Solats Any 2 Armies unique to that homeworld 1 Nuclear Arsenal 2 Jumpships X Random Allies: 8 in a 2 player game, 5 with 3 players, 4 in a 4 player.

VICTORY CONDITIONS Control every planet on the map.

VARIANTS Larger maps, Specific scenarios, Jumpships move 4, Higher upkeep costs...

EVOLVED INTRODUCTON It took 3.5 billion years to make this game.

WINNING The player with the most species at the end of the game wins.

COUNTER SETS Each player has a set of counters of a unique color. Each counter set has 100+ counters. Each set has ten counters marked #1, another ten marked #2, and so on.

THE GLOBE The map is a 6 X 6 grid. It has 36 spaces. 9 spaces are “Land” spaces. 9 are “Open Water” spaces. 18 are “Island” spaces. The top row and bottom row are Arctic (Polar) The two middle rows are Tropical. The intermediate rows are Temperate.

SPECIES Have an index card for each of your species. Every species has 5 attributes. Record on the card the values of the attributes. Also, be sure to name your species. (Kingdom, Phyllum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species)

SETUP Each player starts with one species with the following attributes: Diet = Herbivore Terrain = Water Climate = Hot Adapted Size = Tiny Speed = Slow This will be each players “#1” species (use #1 counters). Each player starts with 3 population counters. Place counters in 3 adjacent spaces not containing opponent’s populations.

TURN SEQUENCE The turn is divided into 6 phases: Geologic Time Phase Random Events Phase Mass Extinctions Phase Reproduction Phase Speciation Phase

827

Migrations Phase

GEOLOGIC TIME PHASE The game ends after 16 turns. Move a time marker one space (Era, Period, Epoch) on the following track: 1. Archean (Start) 2. Proterozoic 3. Paleozoic 4. Cambrian 5. Ordovician 6. Silurian 7. Devonian 8. Carboniferous 9. Permian 10. Mesozoic 11. Triassic 12. Jurassic 13. Cretaceous 14. Cenozoic 15. Tertiary 16. Quaternary (End)

RANDOM EVENTS Players share a common deck. Each player fills hand to 7 cards. If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it.

MASS EXTINCTIONS Extinction cards may not be played until the Ordovician Period Players take turns playing Extinction cards. The player with the (most) fastest species goes first. If there is a tie, the smartest player goes first and play proceeds clockwise. To play the cards Predation, Competition, and Parasitism you must have a Species with the indicated attributes in the same space as an opponent’s Species with the indicated attributes. For example: You play Predation: Pick one of your Carnivore Species and pick any one species of a smaller size. In all spaces that contain populations of both, the prey populations are removed from play.

REPRODUCTION A space may contain an absolute maximum of 3 species (Total of all players). In each space that you have species, pick one of those species to reproduce. Add one Population Counter of the appropriate type to the space.

SPECIATION Play (discard) an evolve card to have one of your populations evolve. Replace one population counter with a counter that has an unused number. Roll once on the Evolution table. The Roll determines which attribute of the population changes. The Attribute goes up or down one level. Roll 1D6: on 1-3 go up. On 4-6 go down. If you are at one end of the scale you automatically move towards the other end. The population becomes a new species. Write up a new index record card for it. A population may only evolve once per turn.

828

MIGRATIONS For each of your species, you may pick up to X number of populations to move to an adjacent space. X is determined by the Species Speed Attribute. You may move a species into a space that already has 3 species in it. If a space has too many species, a random species in that space is destroyed.

FAQS What about amphibious creatures that appeared towards the end ? I stayed away from all mention of specific groups: Dinosaurs, reptiles, amphibians, insects, mammals, aves, crustaceans, arthropods, cnidaria, porifera, mematodes, planaria, etc. The problem is that each group only evolved once, and from distinct ancestors that also only evolved once: This would leave most players out of the loop: For example: the person who got the amphibians would be the only one who could evolve into higher vertebrates. Can carnivores exist by themselves in a space i.e. with no other species present? You state that only 3 species can exist in a space. Does that include only herbivores or carnivores as well? Why not have also carnivores live in a space each of which will “feed” off a species? That would mean that if 3 species are in a space, another 3 carnivore species could live there as well, or even more carnivores as they would feed on the smaller carnivores etc. Actually I always just assumed every space actually held hundreds of thousands of species in all their multitudes. The limitations are just on those few species the players control. Also a related question to max # of species per space is, what happens if there are 3 species in but another one wants to move in from outside? Can’t it make the move? Can it move in but someone of the inhabitants dies if it doesn’t move off etc? This requires some playtesting to see what would be the most "fun" solution. For now, lets say that they can move, and if a space has too many species, a random species in that space is destroyed. Could you clarify which species is allowed to move where, ie can a land species move from land to island or vice versa? Island spaces are fair game to "Land" and "Water" species. How about species reproduction speed – life cycle etc? That is a function of the existing Speed & Size attributes. Why Victory only to the player with biggest no. of species? Why not include total # of species counters on board, total # of spaces occupied by player or even VP bonus for solely occupying spaces of climatic zones, etc? That is all very doable. However, total number of population counters favors small species. How about a few extra cards to include gaia transformation, i.e. card stating that an island space becomes open water and some other open water space becomes island or something of the sort? I had thought of that, but it would require tiles for land and Island spaces. Then there is the problem of species already in a space getting pushed out.

F-14 TOMCATS by Markus Salo ([email protected])

INTRODUCTION Solo Dice Game. Simulation of an American solo F-14 Bombing Mission in the Middle East circa 1987. Pretty much like Microprose F-15 II. No realism, I think no Tomcat would do a solo bombing mission.

MATERIALS Paper, pencil, 1-2 six sided dice, nobody to play with.

MISSION The mission consists 25 waypoints, first and last of which is home base. Draw the waypoints as circles connected with lines on a piece of paper. There are two targets in a mission, primary and secondary targets. First target is 2d6 waypoints from the 1st waypoint, the second 2d6 waypoints from the first target. Roll on the target table to determine what the targets are.

TARGET TYPES Roll to see what the target is: 1D6 Type: Objective Points: 1 Truck Convoy 2 2 Temporary Bridge 2 3 Fuel Dump 2 4 Ammo Storage 2 5 HQ Bunker 3 6 Power Station 4

Objective Damage points 2 2 2 2 3 4

CONTACT On On On On

every turn roll 1D6. a roll of 1 on 1D6 the strike force encounters hostile forces. Roll 1D6 again: a roll of 1-3 on 1D6 a SAM site is encountered. a roll of 4-6 on 1D6 a flight of Mig-23’s are encountered.

SAM SITE 1D6 Missiles are launched at the Strike Force. For each Missile make a Counter Measure Roll of 1D6: On a roll of 4-6 the missile is spoofed and misses. Each Counter Measure Roll costs the player one Chaff and Flare. When the player runs out of Chaff and Flare, no Counter Measure Rolls can be done. For each missile not spoofed, roll 1D6 Evade Roll: On 1-4 on d6 player evades the missile. If the missile hits the player, the player gets one damage point. MIG-23 Flogger FLIGHT 1D6 Migs will attack the player. The player can intercept the Migs with missiles.

832

If the player fires an AMRAAM, he rolls a Missile Roll on 1d6. On 3-6 the AMRAAM hits one Mig and destroys it. If the player fires an Sidewinder, the missile hits one Mig on 4-6 on 1d6. If the player uses his guns, he hits the enemy with 5-6 on 1d6. All the unintercepted Migs hit the players plane with one damage point.

BOMBING RUNS Player can hit the target with Mavericks or Machine Cannon. Maverick hits the target with 4-6 on 1d6, the gun with 5-6. The player can make multiple passes over the target and can fire just one weapon per pass. At every pass he has to roll a new Contact Roll (and face new enemies on 1 on 1d6) The Maverick causes 2 Damage points on the target if hits, the Cannon only one Damage point. To destroy a target, a different amount of damage points are needed. See target table (Objective Damage Points). F-14 Armament Type Hit Roll d6 Ground Damage 10 Machine Cannon Bursts A-A/A-G 5-6 1

DAMAGE TO F-14 F-14 can take up to 7 damage points. When full, the player can try to bail out. The player is able to bail out and be rescued with 3-6 on 1d6.

SCORING Keep a running tally of points and kills while you play. You get awarded medals and promotions accordingly. You start with no medals and at a rank of 2nd Lt.

PROMOTION TABLE 2nd Lt 1st Lt Captain Major Lt Col Col

starting rank 5 missions and 15 points 15 missions, 25 points 20 missions, 45 points 30 missions, 80 points 50 missions, 100 points

MEDAL TABLE Purple Heart Ace (not a medal) Air Man’s Medal Distinguished Flying Medal Congressional Medal of Honour

successful bail out and rescue 5 kills 15 kills 20 kills 35 kills

833

TWO PLAYER VARIANT Two players can play simultaneously as a team. The player with higher rank is the leader, the other player the wing man. The leader attacks always first. When attacked by missiles, the first missile attacks the leader, the second the wingman, the third the leader and so on. Same thing with the Migs.

ALERT PHASE Roll 1D6: Roll New Emergencies 1 0 2-3 1 4-5 2 6 3 For each new emergency draw 1 card from the Emergency deck. Roll 1D12 twice to get the coordinates for each new emergency. Place the emergency card in that space on the board. Roll 1D6 and place that many Time counters on the Newly placed Emergency card. If the rolled coordinates indicate a base or existing emergency, reroll the coordinates. If the rolled coordinates indicate a space occupied by a pawn, place the pawn on its owners base.

ORGANIZATION PHASE Shuffle the Responder deck together with its discard. Each player fills their hand up to six Responder cards.

RESPONSE PHASE 836

Each player rolls 1D12. The player with the highest roll gets his move phase first and so on. Reroll ties.

MOVE PHASES Each player gets one move phase, order determined in response phase. Discard one of your Response cards to move one of your pawns a Distance indicated by the card. Moves can be orthogonal or diagonal unless otherwise stated. You may move none, some or all of your pawns. A pawn can be moved multiple times in a single phase. You may save any cards you did not use for next turn. You may discard any of your cards you do not want. Each Emergency card has a solution. A solution will involve some combination of two pawns. If during your Move phase you move two pawns adjacent (orthogonal or diagonal) To an Emergency card that satisfy that card’s solution requirements, you Complete the rescue: place that emergency card into your rescue pile. Each player has their own Rescue pile.

FAIRY CIRCLE RING INTRODUCTION It is Spring Equinox in the Sylvan woods. The little people, also referred to as Fairies, or Fey have gathered to celebrate. After feasting, storytelling, gossiping, and singing they gather around the Fairy circle ring to play a game they call the Dance of Eights. The fairies dance in groups until they finally form a perfect circle of eight dancers. The winners get laurel leaves and an extra helping of Pixie dust on their elderberries.

THE DECK The deck contains 2 of each card described in the Card List. All of the cards represent Fey Dancers.

SETUP Each player is dealt 8 cards. The oldest player is the dealer. The deck (the remaining cards) are placed down up in the center of the play area. One card from the top of the deck is flipped face up into the discard area. Cards in the discard area are not stacked on top of each other.

TURN EVENTS Players take turns. The youngest player goes first. On your turn you may draw a card from the deck and put it into your hand, or… You may take any one card from the discard area and put it into your hand. After gaining a card you must discard any one card from your hand into the discard area face up.

WINNING If a player has made a “Ring” of the 8 cards in his hand he or she wins. Show the hand to the other players. For a hand to be a ring it must satisfy the following requirements: Four of the dancers must be Male. Four of the dancers must be Female. You must have an even number of Tiny dancers (0, 2, 4…). You must have an even number of Small dancers (0, 2, 4…). You must have an even number of Big dancers (0, 2, 4…). (Example- you can have 2 or 4 tiny dancers, but not 3 or 5) You must have an even number of Mischievous dancers (0, 2, 4…). You must have an even number of Good dancers (0, 2, 4…). You must have an even number of Evil dancers (0, 2, 4…). You must have dancers of at least two elements (Earth, Water, Sky, Forest). You cannot have an odd number of dancers of one element.

FANTASY FIGHT CLUB INTRODUCTION 2 Player game. Combat between 2 opposing fantasy warbands. Game progresses in 2 stages: Recruit Stage Battle Stage

THE DECKS There are 5 Decks: Warrior Deck Weapon Deck Armor Deck Spell Deck Fight Deck

DAMAGE Use tokens to keep track of hits, ammo, and spell effects. Six sided dice are needed.

RECRUIT STAGE Players create their Warband: Each player is dealt 10 Warriors. Each player is dealt half of the Weapon deck. Each player is dealt half of the Armor deck. Lay out your warriors on the table in front of you face up in 2 rows. The Rows are the front row and the back row. There must be at least as many or more warriors in the first row as the second. Assign weapon and armor cards to your warriors. Assigned equipment cards are placed face up partially under the warrior. A warrior can have one shield and one helmet. A warrior can have a Full suit of armor or one or more Partial armor cards. A warrior can carry several weapons but can only use one per turn. Each unit that has spells draws that number of spell cards from the spell deck. Spell cards are placed under the warrior face down. Warriors using 2 handed weapons may carry shields but do not benefit from them.

BATTLE STAGE The opposing warbands fight. Each turn has 3 phases: Draw Phase Tactics Phase Attack Phase

DRAW PHASE Discard some or all unused Fight cards from last turn. Each player fills their hand to 7 cards from the Fight Deck. If the deck runs out shuffle the discard and draw from it.

849

TACTICS PHASE Make sure the warriors in your front row equal or outnumber your back row. Warriors can freely be moved from one row to the other this phase. Designate which of his weapons each of your warriors is using this turn. The weapon of choice is placed on top of his stack of equipment. Some spells are used in this phase.

ATTACK PHASE Warriors with ranged weapons attack first. Warriors with ranged weapons with higher range scores attack before ones with lower scores. Warriors with ranged weapons can attack from the front or back row. Warriors may either attack warriors in the opponents front row or roll 1D6: 1-3 Attack target in front row 4-5 Hesitate: Do not attack 6 Attack target in back row For each ranged attack roll 1D6. On a roll of 4-6 the attack hits. Add the attackers skill and subtract the targets dodge roll. Subtract 1 if the attacker is attacking from the back rating. If the defender is hit but has a shield roll 1D6. If the roll is within the shields blocking range the attack is blocked. Thrown weapons do not have to be used in ranged attacks, they may be used for HTH instead. Note that thrown weapons have limited ammo if they are used in ranged combat. Many Spells have ranges and so are played at the same time as ranged attacks. A spell is discarded after it is played. A spellcaster can only cast one spell per turn. Next warriors in the front row with HTH (Hand-to-hand) weapons may attack targets in the opponents front row. Warriors that have the Backstab ability may roll 1D6: 1-4 Do not attack this turn 5-6 Attack a target in the opponents back row Opposing Warriors pair up. The warrior with the highest speed rating picks his opponent first and so on until all Warriors in the front rows have picked, or have been picked. If one side has more warriors they may double up on enemy warriors. For each pairing roll 1D6: 1-3 The warrior with the greater speed attacks first 4-6 The warrior with the weapon with longer reach attacks first For each HTH attack roll 1D6. On a roll of 4-6 the attack hits. Add the attackers skill and subtract the targets dodge rating and weapon parry value. If the defender is hit but has a shield roll 1D6. If the roll is within the shields blocking range the attack is blocked. If an attack hits roll 1D6. Add the warriors damage bonuses and subtract the opponents armor bonuses. If the result is positive, the target warrior loses that many hits. If a warrior is reduced to 0 or less hits it is killed.

FANTASY FLIERS INTRODUCTION Miniatures rules for aerial skirmishes. All combatants (Fliers) include a mount with usually one rider.

SET UP One player designs the scenario and provides all the miniatures. The Scenario should include two groups of adversarial fliers. The other player picks which of the two groups he wants to control. Make 1-2 chits for each spell in the spell list. The scenario designer may designate specific spells in the scenario or distribute random spell chits to spell casters after groups are picked.

DESIGNING FLIERS Pick a mount. Fill up the mount with riders and weapons. (Most mounts can carry 2-4 Size = 1 riders and weapons) For each rider pick a race and class.

MOUNT STATS Maximum Speed- Top speed in inches per turn. The Flyer can never normally exceed this without magic or special items. Acceleration- The maximum amount in inches a flyer can increase his current speed per turn. Deceleration- The maximum amount in inches a flyer can decrease his current speed per turn. This does not include momentum used up by turning, climbing, and diving. Turn Radius- The maximum amount in degrees a flyer can change his facing per inch moved. Each time a flyer changes facing it uses up one inch of movement. For example a flyer with a current speed of 5 may fly forward 5 inches, or as one possibility fly 3 inches and make 2 turns. Turning radii are in increments of 15 degrees. Climb- The number of inches that must be traveled before the flyers altitude can be increased by one level. Each time a flyer increases altitude one level, it uses up one inch of movement. Flyers that can hover have a climb value = 0. Dive- The number of inches that must be traveled before the flyers altitude can be voluntarily decreased by one level. Diving does not cost any inches to do. Flyers that can hover have a dive value = 0. Mounts have 2 Flying Characteristics: Speed & Maneuverability. These determine the base values of the other stats such as Acceleration and Climb

During battle, keep a running tab of Hits remaining. If reduced to 0 or less hits the mount is killed/destroyed. Capacity- Number of Riders or Large Weapons the Mount can carry. If this is exceeded reduce Maneuverability and speed stats by half (round down). Capacity may not be doubly exceeded. If the mount is under capacity increase stats by one rank each.

TURN SEQUENCE Each turn has 2 phases: Initiative Phase Main Phase

INITIATIVE PHASE Determine move order. Each Flier rolls 1D10 and adds any Initiative modifiers. High roll moves and attacks first in Main phase. Next highest roll moves and attacks second in Main phase, and so on. Reroll ties. Get +3 to roll if you are diving out of the sun. Get +10 to roll for first turn surprise.

MAIN PHASE During Main Phase every flier gets to move and attack.

RATE OF FIRE Weapons with a ROF of 1 can be used once per turn. Weapons with a ROF of 2+ can be used up to that many times per turn. A ROF of ½ can be fired once every other turn. A ROF of 1/3 can fire once every third turn. For fractional ROF's it is assumed the rider is spending the time in between Shots actively reloading. If the rider is making other attacks the reloading time must be made up.

MOVING Keep track of each fliers current speed. Speed is measured in inches per turn. Keep track of each fliers current altitude.

863

Altitude is measured in inches above the table. Use counters to indicate altitude and speed. Maximum altitude is 3 feet above the table. Keep track of the fliers forward facing. (the miniature has this function) See the Mount Stat section for rules on accelerating, turning, etc. Flyers may attempt to increase their value in any stat +1 at the risk of losing control. At the beginning of his move roll 1D8: On a roll of 1-3 the Flier loses control. A flier out of control cannot attack during his move. Mounts that cannot hover have a minimum speed = 1. If forced speed = 0 for any reason, the mount stalls and falls.

ATTACKING A flier may attack at any point during his move. Keep track of ammo used, spells used, and current Hit Point totals. To attack line of sight must not be blocked. Flyers block line of sight. Attacks hit on a roll of 6-10 on 1D10. Add attackers bonuses to hit. Subtract defenders dodge bonuses. If the attack hits roll 1D8: On a roll of 1-6 the attack hits the Mount. On a roll of 7-8 the attack hits the Rider. If there are multiple riders on a mount pick one at random. Some mounts completely enclose their riders: subtract 1 from roll. If there is a hit, roll a number of 1D6 equal to the weapons damage stat. This is the number of Hit points the target loses. Targets reduced to 0 hits are killed/destroyed. Subtract the targets armor stat from the damage inflicted. Some attacks do not do damage but have other effects. Targets of Bombs must be under the attacker. Every time a flyer is hit the rider will fall on a roll of 1 on 1D6. A hovering flyer is +1 Tohit and -1 Dodge.

ATTACKS FROM BELOW Flyers cannot attack targets greater than 3 inches above them. Attacks at targets 1-3 inches above the attacker are at 3/4 listed range.

ATTACKS FROM ABOVE Weapon Ranges are reduced as follows if attacking a target at a lower altitude: Height above target Range is % of Listed 1-3 inches 1.00 4-6 inches 0.50 7-9 inches 0.25 9+ 0.00

SPELL ATTACKS Spell attacks must hit their target like any other attack. If they hit some spells then allow a 'Magic Save'. Roll 1D8: On a roll of 1-6 the spell takes effect. On a roll of 7-8 the spell does not take effect. Add the defenders Magic resistance to the roll.

WEAPON FIRING ARCS Mounted Weapons of size 1 have a firing arc of 90 degrees.

864

Mounted Weapons of size 2 have a firing arc of 60 degrees. Mounted Weapons of size 3+ have a firing arc of 30 degrees. Most mounted weapons will be positioned forward facing. Hand Weapons and spells attacks can be made in any direction. Attacks with a range of "Adjacent" means the figs must be touching.

FALLING Some attacks will result in the target mount or rider (or both) falling. Figures that fall will hit ground at the end of the turn. Roll 1D6: Rolls of 6+ will cause death. Add 1 per inch fallen. Subtract 1D6 if landing on "soft" ground or water. Another flyer may, as its move, attempt to catch the faller. Roll 1D10: 1-5 do not catch flyer. 6-10 catch flyer. Add 1 if catching a rider. Subtract 3 if the target is petrified Add catchers Speed and Maneuverability stats. Subtract 9. Subtract 1 if above the faller. Add 3 if below. Subtract 2 if the faller is heavier than the catcher. A Flyer carrying a Mount has its Speed and Maneuverability stats reduced to 1. Riders may be equipped with parachutes: They fall 2 inches the first turn, and float down 1 inch per turn thereafter.

POISON ATTACKS If the attack hits roll 1D8: 1-2 No Effect 3-4 Roll again at the end of next turn. 5-6 Sick: Target is -2 to all rolls for the rest of the battle. 7 Paralyzed: Target cannot do anything for the rest of the battle: Will fall. 8 Death: Will fall. For stink bombs, disease, & flatulence the result is automatically: sick. If it hits the contents of the bag of scorpions gets 1 attack each turn for 1D6 turns. Nonliving mounts are immune to poison. Arrows may be coated with poison.

RAM ATTACKS Units may ram. Ramming attacks are +1 Tohit. If it's a miss the attacker moves past the target. If it's a hit the defender takes damage = 1D6 + the current speed of the rammer. Blunt rams and Piercing rams also add the speed of the rammer. The attacker takes 1D6 damage.

GRAB ATTACKS The attacker grabs the target. The target cannot move (except to get closer to the attacker) or attack until it breaks free or is dropped. If the attacker moves the grabbed target moves with it. To break free roll 1D6 at the end of the turn: 1-2 hold not broken. The grabber may move and do damage next turn. 3-4 hold not broken. The grabber may not move but may do damage next turn. 5-6 the target breaks free. Each turn after the first the attacker may automatically inflict 1D6 hits of damage. A Flyer grabbing a Mount has its Speed and Maneuverability stats reduced to 1.

PETRIFICATION, GAZE, FREEZE, PARALYZE ATTACKS 865

If the attack hits the defender gets a Magic Save just like in the Spell attack section. If the defender fails its save, it is immobilized, and will fall. For gaze attacks the attacker and defender must be facing each other. These attacks have no effect on nonliving targets.

STUN ATTACKS If the attack hits roll 1D6: On a roll of 4 or higher the target loses its next attack.

WEB & NET ATTACKS If the attack hits the target is entangled. Roll 1D6: 1-2 the target cannot attack 3-4 Target flyer Speed and Maneuverability stats reduced by 1 each 5 Target flyer Speed and Maneuverability stats reduced to 1 6 Target falls The target may attempt to break free of the webs. Roll 1D6 at the end of the turn: 1-3 still entangled 4-6 the target breaks free. Web and net attacks include bolas, goo guns, and lassos.

MESMERIZE ATTACKS The attacker and defender must be facing each other. If the attack hits the defender gets a Magic Save just like in the Spell attack section. If the defender fails its save, it misses its next attack and must hover or fly at its slowest speed. Nonliving targets are unaffected.

FEAR ATTACKS The attacker and defender must be facing each other. If the attack hits the defender gets a Magic Save just like in the Spell attack section. If the defender fails its save, it misses its next attack and must fly away at top speed. Nonliving targets are unaffected.

SMOKE & GAS This action produces a 1 inch diameter 'cloud' of smoke, gas, etc. If the to hit roll is missed place the cloud next to the target. A target is not required. Smoke, Bubbles and ink jets block line of sight. If a flyer moves through gas or spores roll on the poison attack table. If a flyer moves through mines or bombs it will be hit on a roll of 1-3 on 1D6. Gas Clouds, Ink jets, Bubbles and Parachute bombs fall 1 inch per turn. Smoke rises 1 inch per turn. Balloon mines do not move.

FIRE & ACID ATTACKS If hit by a fire or acid attack roll 1D8 at the end of the turn: 1-4 Fire extinguished, Acid neutralized. Do not roll again next turn. 5-6 Smoldering, burning: Take 1 hit point of damage: roll again next turn. 7-8 Burst into flames: Take 1D6 hit point of damage: roll again next turn. Subtract 3 if doused with water. Subtract 1 if trying to extinguish fire without water. (Cannot attack)

FANTASY HEROES INTRODUCTION Card Game. Fantasy conquest made simple.

THE DECKS There are 2 decks, the Territory deck, and the Battle deck. The Territory deck has 15 cards. There are 5 types of territories: Castles, Mountains, Towers, Forests, and Swamps. The Territory deck has 3 cards of each. The Battle Deck has 60 cards. There are 4 types of Battle cards: Heroes, Minions, Artifacts, and Spells. The Battle Deck has one of each of the cards listed in the Card Lists under these four headings.

OBJECTIVE Control all of the territory cards.

SETUP Each player gets 4 territory cards dealt randomly from the territory deck. After setup the territory deck is no longer used. All players draw a card from the battle deck. The player who draws the highest BV or AV score goes first. The next highest goes second, and so on. Redraw in case of ties. Each player starts with 7 cards.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 2 phases: 1. Draw Phase 2. Attack Phase

DRAW PHASE Draw 3 cards. You may have a maximum of 7 cards in your hand. If you ever have more than 7 cards at the end of a phase, discard the excess cards. If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard and continue play.

ATTACK PHASE If you have a hero in your hand you may attack. If you don't want to attack you may skip this phase. If you want to attack, pick one of your opponents territories to be the target of your attack. Play one of your heroes face up on the table. You may also play one artifact card. You may also play one or more Minion cards whose territory matches that of the attacking hero. For example: A barbarian may have a Giant as a minion, but not a vampire. You may also play one or two spell cards if allowed.

874

Each hero has a spell level of 0, 1, or 2. This is the number of spells the hero may cast during the battle. Add up the AV (Attack Value) of the Hero plus the BV (Battle Value) of all his minion, spell, and artifact cards. This is the "Total Attack Score." The Defender may play a Hero. The Defender may play one artifact card, only if he played a hero. The Defender may also give his hero spells according to the heroes spell level. The Defender may play Minion cards that match his heroes territory and the territory that is being attacked. The Defender may play Minion cards that match his territory that is being attacked even if he does not play a hero. Attacker and Defender may continue playing cards until they both pass. Add up the Defenders BVs and DV (Defense Value) to get a "Total Defense Score." Compare the total scores of the attacker and the defender. If the Attackers Score is higher, he gets to keep the territory card, and draws 2 cards. If the Defenders Score is equal or higher he keeps his territory card and draws 3 cards. All cards played during the battle on both sides are discarded.

FANTASY SKIRMISH INTRODUCTION Board & card game for 2 players. Battle between two Fantasy Armies. Abstract skirmish level combat. Each figure represents a single hero, monster, or unit.

VICTORY You win if you kill all opposing units with Leadership Skill.

THE MAP Use an 8x8 chessboard.

FIGURES Use chits or miniatures to represent units.

ARMIES Pick which type of army you want. Currently available choices include: Dwarves, Orcs, Goblins, Elves, Feudals. Future additional lists may include: Barbarians, Undead, Hobgoblins

BUILDING YOUR ARMY Each Figure has a cost value. A standard army will be worth 150 points. An Army must include a Leader. A standard army must have 16 figs.

SETUP Each player places one unit on each square of his back two rows. Units may not stack.

THE CARDS Players share a 90 card common deck.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 3 phases: Fate Phase Move Phase Attack Phase

878

FATE PHASE Draw 3 cards. Max hand size = 5 cards. If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it. Discard excess cards.

MOVE PHASE Play (discard) a Move card to move one of your units. The move card has a number. This is the number of spaces the unit moves. Moves can be diagonal or orthogonal. Units cannot move through other units. “Knight” type move cards allow a unit to move like a knight in chess. The Knight move cards can only be used by units with a Move stat of 3+. Instead of moving just one unit in any direction, you have the option of moving up to three units forward the indicated number of spaces using a single move card.

ATTACK PHASE Play (discard) an Attack card to have a unit attack. The attack card has a number. The unit must have a Strength value equal to or greater than the value of the Attack card in order to use it. Attacks can be diagonal or orthogonal. The attack can be at a range equal to or less than the range stat of the attacking unit. Units with ranged attacks cannot attack over (through) other units. Each attack does one point of damage. A unit reduced to zero Hits is killed and removed from the board. Your opponent may play Defense cards to negate your attack. A unit that becomes immobilized cannot move, attack, defend or use SA's.

SPECIAL ABILITIES Most units have one special ability (SA). Discard a SA card to have a unit use its special ability. Some SA’s do not require a SA card to be discarded.

SPELLS A unit as its special ability may know one or more spells. Before the game starts, pick which spells the unit knows. Spells must be picked from that races Spellbook list. To cast a spell, just discard a SA card.

FARSCAPE THE CARD GAME by Peter Cobcroft ([email protected])

INTRODUCTION Multi-player Card game. Space Opera / Sci-Fi theme. Warp / Euchre type Format.

DISCLAIMER Farscape is a copyrighted, trademarked, licensed property. This is merely a fan site. Warning - this game contains spoilers for the entire series.

OBJECTIVE To have the characters with the highest scores by the time the series ends. The character with the highest score is deemed to be the 'star' of the series.

THE DECKS There is one common deck to draw from.

CARD RANDOMIZER UTILITY Click Here for randomizer.

CARD TYPES Character cards. Event cards. Character Exit cards. Play Change cards.

SETUP Each player receives 5 cards. The player in the blackest clothing goes first. Play proceeds clockwise.

TURN SEQUENCE Draw a card Play a card Obey any special rules on a card

GAME END 884

The game ends when the 'End of Season' card is played. Note - longer games can be played if four seasons are run. When the 'End of Season' card is played, reshuffle all cards and keep a running score.

MAXIMUM CARDS A player may not have more than five cards in their hand at the beginning of their turn, unless the rules have changed.

DRAW A CARD Unless the play rules have changed, a player only draws one card from the deck. If there are no cards left to draw from, reshuffle the discard pile and keep going.

PLAY A CARD Unless the play rules have changed, a player only plays one card from their hand. They may play it to the active area in front of them, or they may discard the card to the discard pile. Character cards are placed in front of the player whose turn it is. Event cards are placed on top of Character Cards and add to the score of the Character Card, they may also be played on other Event cards for a cummulative effect. Event cards can be played on other player's Characters. If doing so decreases MH or PH to zero, then the character and all events for that character are immediately discarded. Character Exit Cards are placed on top of all the Events of a particular Character (either yours or someone else's). Rotate the pile sideways - no further cards can be played on it. Character Exit cards can be played on another player's Character if legal. Play Change cards can never be discarded from you hand, and when played they take effect immediately. Place Play Change cards next to the discard pile, they are in effect until another card supercedes them.

CHARACTERS A character, when played, usually starts with 2 Mental Health (MH), 2 Physical Health (PH) and usually 1 in another characteristic (C, T, R, A). If either MH or PH is reduced to zero, the character is out of the game. Take the Character card, and any Event cards played on that character and put them in the discard pile. Event cards usually increase one of a character's four scores comedy, tragedy, romance or action. It is the sum of these scores that gives a character's final score. An Event card can only be played on another Event card or an un-Exited Character. Character Exit cards are played on a character so that they form a complete character journey, only when a character has had an Exit card played on them do they count towards your score when the game ends. Some Exit cards reduce your scores in certain attributes if they are played. If it reduces an attribute below 1, then it can not be played on that Character.

FEDERATION INTRODUCTION Star Trek Theme. Module for the Warp Empires system. You must use the Warp Empires system to play this game.

DICE Six-sided dice are needed in this scenario.

MAP Over half the territories are empty space. Revenue generating spaces are planetary systems. Other territory types include: Supernovas: No entry possible. Nebulas: Ships must stop upon entering. Worm Holes: Allow instant transport to other Worm Holes.

VICTORY You win if you control over 60% of the systems on the map.

RACES Each player picks a race: United Federation of Planets Klingon Empire Romulan Star Empire Ferengi Alliance Cardassian Union Borg Collective

SETUP Each player starts with a Homesystem with 10 random units.

UNITS & ACTION DECK Players share a common Action deck and unit chit pile.

EXPLORATION PHASE Include an exploration phase after movement phase. When entering an unexplored system for the first time roll three six sided dice to determine The presence of Resources, Minor Races, and Enigmas. 1D6 Resources: Revenue: 1-2 Poor 1

3-4 5-6 1D6 1-3 4 5 6 1D6 1-4 5-6

Moderate Rich Minor Race: No Minor Race Primitive Race Modern Race Advanced Race Enigmas: No Enigma Enigma

2 3 Revenue: +1 +2 +3

ENIGMA PHASE Include an Enigma phase after exploration phase. If the planet has an Enigma roll 1D6. Add +1 to the Enigma roll if the stack contains a Command ship or Science Vessel. On a roll of 5 the Enigma is solved. On a roll of 1-4 the Enigma causes unintended consequences. Roll 1D6 to see what they are: 1D6 Consequence: 1-3 The Exploring stack is destroyed. 4-5 The Exploring stack must retreat. 6 Roll again plus if there was a Minor Race Present, it is destroyed. A system cannot be controlled by diplomacy or conquest if it has an unresolved Enigma. If the stack is destroyed the Enigma remains and must be faced again. If the Enigma is solved, it goes away forever.

DIPLOMACY PHASE Include a Diplomacy phase after Enigma phase. If the newly explored planet has a Minor Race roll 1D6. On a roll of 6 or better, the race willingly joins your empire. If you roll a 1-2 the race will never join your empire through diplomacy. The Federation and Ferengi players get +1 to the Diplomacy roll. The Federation cannot conquer newly discovered Minor races, they can only use diplomacy. If a diplomacy attempt fails, you can try again next turn.

REVENUE PHASE Each system generates revenue equal to its: Resource type + Minor Race Type. If the system has no minor race, you must first build a colony. Terraformed Systems generate +1 Income. Homesystems generate 10 Revenue points per turn. Cardassians generate an extra point of revenue from Minor Races due to their oppressive rule of The subjugated race Borg generate an extra point of revenue from Minor Races due to their assimilation of manpower. Ferengi generate one less point of revenue from Minor Races because their control is based strictly on trade.

RECRUIT PHASE Units must start at your Homeworld, a Starbase, or a planet with a Shipyard. You may build colonies and shipyards and Terraform on systems other than your Homesystem at will. A system can have a maximum of 1 colony and 1 shipyard and 1 Terraform. A Minor Race Planet cannot be Terraformed. A system must first have a colony to have a functioning shipyard or to Terraform. A Starbase may be built in a non-system space adjacent to a system you control.

891

BATTLE RULES Opposing stacks in the same space do not have to attack each other if they both declare that they are on Diplomatic missions. If the Borg win a battle (engagement) they get to keep and control (assimilate) half the enemy casualties. Treat Leaders like other units with respect to casualties. Players may attempt to conquer minor races. The Minor Race will generate 1D6 x 1D6 Force in its defense. When attacking a colony or Minor Race controlled by an enemy the defender will get +10 Force. (Garrisons, Planetary Defenses) When attacking a Homesystem controlled by an enemy the defender will get +20 Force. Klingons get +5 Force when battling at a system. Units in Battle adjacent to a friendly Starbase get +5 Force.

FORTAC INTRODUCTION Abstract board & card strategy game for 2 players.

THE BOARD Use a 4x4 grid.

THE PIECES Each player has 4 men (pieces, pawns, tokens, etc.). One player is Red, the other is Black.

THE DECK Players share a common deck.

VICTORY Victory is achieved by being the first to make 2 different Combos. A Combo is made by placing your 4 pieces into one of 4 arrangements: 1. Occupy all 4 corner spaces of the board (Corner Combo) 2. Occupy 4 spaces in a row diagonally (Diagonal Combo) 3. Occupy 4 spaces in a row orthogonally (Orthogonal Combo) 4. Occupy the 4 center spaces of the board. (Center Combo) You must verbally declare a Combo on the turn you form it. After your first combo play continues from the same positions & with the same hands. Your second combo must be of a different type from the first.

SETUP Each player places his 4 men in the 4 spaces of one corner. Diagrammatically (R = Red, B = Black, E = Empty) it would appear thus: RREE RREE EEBB EEBB Each player is dealt a hand of 3 cards from the deck. Cards are always placed face up in front of the player. Players can always see their own and each other’s hand. Red goes first.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 2 phases: 1. Move Phase 2. Draw Phase

MOVE PHASE 922

To move one of your men, discard one of your cards and Move the man according to the rules on that card. (To move you must play (discard) a card) You must move if it is at all possible. If it is impossible for you to move, your opponent automatically wins. You may only play one card (make one move) in this phase. At the end of Move phase you must have 2 cards in your hand.

DRAW PHASE Draw phase always comes after move phase. Draw the top card of the deck and put it in your hand face up. At the end of Draw phase you must have 3 cards in your hand.

THE COMMON DECK Card Name: # Notes: Hop 4 Move orthogonally 1 space Skip 4 Move diagonally 1 space Jump 4 Jump over adjacent piece Trade 4 Trade places with adjacent piece Switch 4 Switch places with non-adjacent piece Rook 2 Move piece like Rook in Chess King 2 Move like a King in Chess Horse 4 Move like a Knight in Chess Bishop 4 Move like a Bishop in Chess Zip 2 Move to any empty corner space Zap 2 Move to any empty non-corner space Push 4 See Notes # = Copies of that card in the deck.

PUSH CARD This one requires a little extra explanation: Move 1 piece into an adjacent space already occupied by another piece. The other piece is pushed into the next space over in line. Two pieces in a row can be pushed like this. The furthest pushed piece must have somewhere to go, there must be an Empty space for it to be pushed into. It cannot be pushed off the board.

LINKS History of the French Revolution FAQ's In the Revolution Phase: (1) What is the purpose of the Tactical cards? Do you mean that you cannot play an Unrest card without playing a Tactical card too? A)Yes. You must play a Tactics card in order to have any of your Unrest cards count. (2) Can the current leader play only Oppression cards? A)Yes, he can only oppress, just as the others can only rebel. (3) If players play an equal number of Oppression or Unrest cards, does the current leader remain the leader for the next turn? A)Current Leader wins ties. (4) As I read the rules, the Current Leader plays Oppression cards, then the other players play Tactical and Unrest cards. Is this go-around done once before moving on to the Reform Phase? A)Yes, just once. Each player may play 1 or more cards. In the Reform Phase: Leader plays Reform cards. Others play AntiRevolutionary cards to negate this. Do you only go around the table once in this phase? A)Yes just once. Each player may play 1 or more cards.

FREUDIAN SLIP INTRODUCTION Players immerse themselves in a mass psychosis directed by the cards and their own subconscious desires.

THE DREAMERS DECK The deck will have to be constructed before play is possible. The deck contains 100+ cards. Each card has a single word printed on it. Noun, Verb, and Adjective cards are all mixed together. A big comfortable couch is also recommended.

SETUP All players are dealt 7 cards. The player with the most psychological baggage goes first.

DREAM SEQUENCE Players take turns. A player on his turn describes the details of an imaginary dream. The player must incorporate the word on one of his cards into his monologue. The card is discarded and a replacement card is drawn. The player must stop after 2 minutes of talking and ends his turn unless the other participants wish him to continue. The next player to his left starts her turn, and continues the dream where the previous player left off. A player may only use one card during his turn. As in real dreams, the dream does not have to make any sense. (except unconsciously)

ENDING THE DREAM When two players pass on their turns the dreamer awakens and the game is over.

WINNING There is no real winner, however players may vote to see who wins in any or all of the following categories: Biggest Freudian Slip Award Biggest Id Award Biggest Ego Award Biggest Superego Award Stuck in the Oral Phase Award Stuck in the Anal Phase Award Stuck in the Genital Phase Award Most Jungian Award Most Surreal Award Most Sublime Award The individual who gets the most awards is declared the most in need of Psychoanalysis.

TROOPS Each player starts with 100 points of troops. Use change to keep track of troop points.

VICTORY Reduce your opponents troop total to zero.

SETUP Each player is dealt 7 cards. Flip a coin to see who goes first.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 4 Phases: Deploy Phase Attack Phase Casualty Phase Maneuver Phase

DEPLOY PHASE Draw 3 cards. If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it. Leader or Action Cards may be discarded to draw extra cards equal to the cards force. A Light Infantry or a Cavalry unit card may be discarded to look at your opponent’s hand. Artillery Unit and Tactics cards may be discarded to cause your opponent to discard one Random card on a one to one basis.

ATTACK PHASE You may choose to attack or not to attack. Your opponent may discard an “Enemy Blunder” Card to prevent you from attacking this turn. To attack play one Unit card face up on the table. You may play more than one Unit card, but they must all be of the same type. For example: They must all be Light Infantry, or all Artillery, but not a mix of both. Your opponent may discard an Infantry Unit card to cause a Cavalry

932

unit just played to be discarded. Your opponent may discard a Light Infantry Unit card to cause an Artillery unit just played to be discarded. Your opponent may discard an Artillery Unit card to cause an Infantry unit just played to be discarded. Your opponent may discard a Cavalry Unit card to cause a Light Infantry unit just played to be discarded. Your opponent may discard a Terrain card to cause any attacking unit just played to be discarded. If any attacking unit cards remain, you may also play: 1.) Tactics cards if they match the unit type. 2.) One Strategy card of each of the five types. For Example: Play one Morale and one Action card, but not two Morale cards.

CASUALTY PHASE Add up the value of all the cards you played. Add two to your total for each card you played in excess of 5. This total is the number of casualties inflicted on your opponent.

GALACTIC SUPREMACY INTRODUCTION You guessed it. Rival space empires are at it again. A card game for 2 or more players.

THE DECK The deck contains 75 cards: # Card Type: 15 Research 15 Fleets 15 Sectors 15 Command 15 Leader # = Number of that card type in the deck. The game can be played with a single common deck, or with each player having their own individual deck. If playing with multiple decks, make sure all cards are returned to their proper owners at the end of the game. Each Sector contains 100's of colonized worlds. Each Fleet contains 1000's of ships.

OTHER MATERIALS A handfull of ten sided dice (D10's) Coins (to represent megacredits) One homeworld card for each player.

OBJECT Conquer the homeworlds of all of your opponents.

SETUP Each player starts with a Homeworld Sector in play. Each player draws 2 cards. Players begin at level one in all nine technologies. Players roll 1D10 to determine turn order. High roll goes first.

UNITS Sectors and fleets are collectively referred to as units.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn is divided into 7 phases: Draw Phase Production Phase Command Phase Build Phase Attack Phase Move Phase Research Phase

940

DRAW PHASE Draw one card from the top of the deck You may draw an extra card for 5 credits. Exploration: You may discard a Fleet card to draw a card. If the card drawn is a Sector card you may keep it, otherwise discard the drawn card. The Draft: You may discard a Sector card to draw a card. If the card drawn is a Fleet card you may keep it, otherwise discard the drawn card. Military Intelligence: You may discard a Research card to draw a card. If the card drawn is a Command card you may keep it, otherwise discard the drawn card. Military R&D: You may discard a Command card to draw a card. If the card drawn is a Research card you may keep it, otherwise discard the drawn card. Maximum hand size is 5. Discard excess cards. If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard, and continue play.

PRODUCTION PHASE Homeworld Sectors generate 5 Credits. Sectors generate 1 credit each. A leader attached to a Sector generates 2 extra credits. For each level above the first a player has in all of the technologies of Terraforming, Industry, and Energy, all the worlds of that player generate one additional credit each. Hand size is increased by a similar amount. For example: a player has Terraforming = 3, Industry = 5, and Energy = 4. The extra levels of Industry and Energy do not count. That player's worlds produce +2 credits per turn and that player has a maximum hand size = 7. Credits may be saved from turn to turn.

COMMAND PHASE Unless otherwise specified, the special uses of command cards are enacted in this phase. Command cards are always discarded when used.

BUILD PHASE Pay Pay The Pay The

10 credits to put a Sector card into play from your hand. 10 credits to put a Fleet card into play from your hand. Fleet card must be attached to a Sector. 5 credits to put a Leader card into play from your hand. Leader card must be attached to a unit.

ATTACK PHASE You may attack an opponents world with one or more of your fleets. If both players have the same level of Jump Speed Technology or if the attacker is faster, then the defender can only defend the attacked world with whatever fleets are currently there. If the defender has a higher level of Jump Speed Technology then the defender he can use some or all of his fleets to defend. The defender may decide not to defend with a Fleet at an attacked Sector. Move the fleet to any other friendly Sector. Fleets and Sectors use one die in combat. Homeworld Sectors use 5 dice. Players compare their respective levels in the following 5 technologies:

941

Firepower, Range, Defenses, Information, and Sublight Speed. If one player has a higher level in a technology then that player is said to have a technological advantage. For each advantage, each of a players units gets one additional combat die. Presence of a Leader gives the attached unit one additional combat die. Roll dice separately for each unit involved. These are referred to as combat rolls. Each unit simultaneously destroys one opposing unit with an equal or lower combat roll. Sectors win tied combat rolls. All of the defenders Fleets must be destroyed before the Sector is destroyed. Repeat this process until only one side remains. If the attacker wins he may put the colony card in his hand. If a players Homeworld Sector is destroyed, it goes out of play, and that player loses. Leaders are destroyed with their units. Destroyed Fleets and Leaders are discarded. Units can combine their combat rolls to overcome the combat roll of an enemy unit. For example: 6 Fleets attack a Homeworld Sector. The homeworld rolls a 30. The Fleets collectively roll a 40. One of the six Fleets is destroyed, and the Homeworld is destroyed.

MOVE PHASE Attach your Fleets in play to any of your Sectors in play. Attach your Leaders in play to any of your units in play. A unit may only have 1 Leader attached.

RESEARCH PHASE Pay 10 credits to play a Research card. The card is discarded and the player rolls once on the Technology Table. The technology indicated by the roll is increased by one level for this player only. Catchup: Pay 15 credits and play a research card to gain one level in a specific technology an opponent is superior to you in. Directed effort: Pay 20 credits and play a research card to gain one level in a specific technology of your choice.

TRADE & NEGOTIATIONS Players may at any time trade cards or make deals.

COMMAND CARD USES Command cards are discarded when played.

942

Strategic Planning: Look at the next 1D10 cards in the deck. Tactical Superiority: Target unit gets one additional combat die this combat phase. Surprise: Defender can only defend with fleets already present at Sector. Ambush: Defender may defend with some or all of his fleets. Peace Talks: Opponent may not attack you this turn. Exceed Quotas: Gain 1D10-2 megacredits. Steal Secrets: Steal 1 random card from opponent on a roll of 1-6 on 1D10. Counter Espionage: Negate any use of a command card on a roll of 1-8 on 1D10.

OPTIONAL ADVANCED SETUP RULE Each player starts the game with 3 random technological advances, 1D10 credits, and 1D5 cards.

GAME DESIGNERS NOTES If you are illustrating the cards, every card of each card type can easily have its own unique illustration (and subtitles and quotes). For example, you can depict 15 different Leaders or 15 different ships. This works well if each player is assumed to control a different species, or culture. For example: one player's illustrations may portray a reptillian race while his opponent's deck depicts a feline empire. Play using a Common deck can represent a civil war.

type, and is then destroyed. Shields are included in the cost of the ship.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 3 phases: 1. Write orders phase 2. Reveal orders phase 3. Resolve actions phase

WRITE ORDERS PHASE Write seperate orders for every ship you control. First write movement orders. Ships use movement points to move forward or to make a turn of one hex facing (60 degrees). Example: Fighter #3 moves 1-R-1-L. This means move it forward 1, then 1 right turn, then forward 1, then 1 left turn. Also write attack orders. Attacks are made from the last space entered. Indicate the weapon and the number of the space it is targeting. Weapons fire in all arcs. Example: Destroyer #2 attack with laser to hex 00435 and nuclear missile to 01667. Also indicate special orders such as docking. Players should have two minutes plus one minute per ship to write orders.

REVEAL ORDERS PHASE No orders or Incorrectly written orders result in the ship doing nothing.

RESOLVE ACTIONS PHASE All actions are simultaneous. Move ships first then resolve attacks. Attacks into empty hexes hit nothing. Attacks into hexes containing enemy units automatically hit a ship of the attackers choice. One Shield will absorb one attack of the appropriate type. Jammers negate missiles & nukes. Any attacks not absorbed by shields do damage. Nukes always destroy their target. Missles always do 4D6 Hits of Damage. At range 0-2 Energy & Projectile weapons do 3D6 Damage. At range 3-4 Energy & Projectile weapons do 2D6 Damage. At range 5-8 Energy & Projectile weapons do 1D6 Damage. Ships reduced to 0 or less hits are destroyed at the end of the turn.

SCENARIOS Training Simulator: Each side starts with 2 Escorts. Skirmish: 30 points to a side. Fleet Action: 100 points to a side.

GAMMA CHESS PREMISE: This plays like a cross between chess and backgammon

SET UP: Regular Chessboard and pieces plus two dice

OBJECT: Move all of your men to your opponents back row.

PLAY: Players take turns.

TURNS: At the beginning of your turn roll the two dice and consult the table below. This determines which pieces you can move. 1D6 Piece 1 Knight 2 Pawn 3 Rook 4 Bishop 5 King 6 Queen Example: If you roll 1 on one die and 4 on the other you must move one of your 8 pawns and one of your bishops. If you roll 1 and 2 you must move either two of your pawns or one of your pawns twice. If you roll a piece you no longer have, add one to your roll. If you have no queen go back to one.

MOVES: Pieces move as normal except that they can only go forward or sideways.

CAPTURING: A piece can only capture if it is moving forward. The captured piece is immediately put, by its owning player, in a square on its back row.

MOVING OFF: If you move one of your pieces onto your opponents back row remove it from the game.

SHORTER GAMES: The first person to move off his king is the winner.

954

GAMMA WORLD INTRODUCTION Card Game based on the RPG Gamma World by TSR. GW is a trademarked property. This merely a fan site. You are a leader of a Gamma World Enclave. Recruit and equip your followers. Send your followers to capture ruins that will aid your cause.

THE DECK Players share a common deck.

VICTORY The game ends when all cards have been drawn from the deck. The player controlling the most location cards wins.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 2 Phases: Action Phase Healing Phase

ACTION PHASE A player gets a base 2 Action Points (APs) on his turn. An AP can be used to do one of the following: 1. Recruit one Follower. 2. Draw one card from the deck. 3. Play an Item card. 4. Attack a Location. Some cards will provide additional APs.

RECRUIT A FOLLOWER Use a token to represent the Follower. You may attach any number of Mutation cards to the token just played. If no cards are attached the follower is considered to be a Pure Strain Human (PSH). If cards are attached, designate the follower as either a Mutant Human or Animal. The follower has a base Force = 1 and Hits = 2. Mutations increase Force and Hits totals. You may have a maximum of 6 Followers in play at one time.

DRAW ONE CARD FROM THE DECK You may have a maximum of 5 cards in your hand. Discard excess cards.

PLAY AN ITEM CARD 955

Attach equipment, weapon, armor, steed, and vehicle cards to your followers. A Follower can only have one vehicle or steed and one armor at a time.

ATTACK A LOCATION Play a Location card. All of your followers attack. Any one of your opponents may play a Foe card. Roll the indicated dice to determine the Starting Threat of the Foe. The Player rolls 1D6 for every point of force his followers have. Every roll of 1 reduces the Threat by one point. Simultaneously roll 1D6 for every point of opposing threat. For every roll of 1 by the threat one of your followers loses 1 Hit. Roll 1D6 for each hit to see which of your followers takes the damage. The Steed of a Follower takes damage first. Keep track of hits by putting damage counters on the followers and Threat card. Followers & Steeds reduced to 0 Hits are killed. Repeat this process until the followers retreat or one side is killed off. If the Threat is eliminated the Followers gain control of the location. It becomes part of the players growing post-apocalyptic empire. Note that Armor cards provide Hits. Armor reduced to 0 Hits is destroyed. Armor always loses hits before followers. If the followers retreat or are destroyed discard the location and the threat.

HEALING PHASE All your followers (not Armor) remove one damage counter each. Cards with the heal property allow you to remove an extra 1D6 counters.

BREAKDOWN RULE Roll 1D6 for every time a weapon, equipment, or vehicle is used. On a roll of 1 that item is discarded (used up, broken, out of power, ammo).

GERRYMANDERING DEFINITION Gerrymandering means changing district lines in order to benefit one political party.

LINK Gerrymandering has been published in the online Winter 2000 issue of the ACADEMIC GAMING REVIEW

INTRODUCTION Players take turns changing the district lines in order to win the election.

EQUIPMENT Players will need: Six sided dice (1D6) Map: 10 X 10 Grid. Each square represents a city block. Chits: tiny cardboard counters. (Blocks & District Markers)

MAP SETUP Randomly place 100 Block chits on the map, one chit per space.

BLOCKS Each block is described by a chit. Before playing the first game players will have to make 100 chits. Each block chit has 4 variable characteristics that describe it. These include: Income, Party, Race, and Issue.

INCOME TABLE 1D6 1-2 3-4 5-6

Income High Medium Low

Abbreviation H M L

PARTY TABLE 1D6 1-3 4-6

Party Democratic Republican

Abbreviation D R

RACE TABLE 1D6 1

WASP Euro SAmer Carib Orient

ISSUES TABLE 1D6 1 2 3 4 5 6

Issue Taxes Roads Healthcare Crime Education Environment

Abbreviation Tax Road Heal Crime Edu Envir

MAKING BLOCK CHITS Each Block has exactly one randomly determined income, party, race, and issue. Use the abbreviations when writing on the chits: On the upper left hand corner of the chit write the income. On the upper right hand corner of the chit write the party. In the middle of the chit write the race. On the bottom, write the issue.

SETUP CANDIDATE Each player has a candidate that is running for office Each candidate has the following 8 profile characteristics: 1. Income: Determine on the Income Table 2. Party: Determine on the Party Table 3. Race: Determine on the Race Table 4. First Allied Race: Determine on the Race Table (must be different from #3 on this list) 5. Second Allied Race: Determine on the Race Table (must be different from #3 & #4) 6. Primary Issue: Determine on the Issue Table 7. Second Issue: Determine on the Issue Table (must be different from #6) 8. Third Issue: Determine on the Issue Table (must be different from #6 & #7)

PLAYING THE GAME After setup the game has 4 phases: 1. District lines are drawn 2. District lines are redrawn 3. Census 4. Election

DISTRICT LINES ARE DRAWN Players take turns. Roll high on 1D6 to determine who goes first. In the first part the District lines are drawn. There are 50 District Markers (Blank Chits). They are all the same. The first player places 1D6 markers on the map, one per block. The very first marker may be placed on any one of the 9 center squares. All other markers must be placed on a block adjacent to another marker. Adjacent means side by side, not diagonal. The next player places 1D6 markers, then the next, and so on. This continues until all 50 markers are placed.

971

Everything under a marker is part of the voting district.

DISTRICT LINES ARE REDRAWN In the second part the District lines are redrawn. Turns continue from where they left off. The game will continue for another XD6 turns. X = number of players. On a players turn he may move 1D6 markers. A marker cannot be moved if it is adjacent to 3 or more markers. A marker cannot be moved if this action separates the district into 2 or more isolated parts. A removed marker can then be placed back on the map adjacent to any other marker. After this then a census is taken of the district

THE CENSUS Take the 50 blocks in the district and count the number of each variable. For example: The district may have contained: 16 High income blocks, 19 middle income, and 15 low income; 27 Democrats and 23 Republicans; 9 Blacks, 8 WASPs, 6 Europeans, 10 South Americans, 8 Caribbean's, and 9 Orientals; 10 Taxes, 6 Education, 10 Roads, 9 Health care, 7 Crime, and 8 Environmentalists.

THE ELECTION Calculate votes for the candidates: 1. For each matching Income block get 2 votes. For example: A High income candidate would get 32 votes for 16 High income blocks in the district but no votes for middle and low income blocks. 2. For each matching Party block get 1 vote. 3. For each matching Race block get 3 votes. 4. For each matching First Allied Race block get 1 vote. 5. For each matching Second Allied Race block get 1 vote. 6. For each matching Primary Issue block get 3 votes. 7. For each matching Second Issue block get 2 votes. 8. For each matching Third Issue block get 1 vote.

VICTORY The player with the most votes at the end of the game is the winner. And your next elected official.

VARIATIONS For a smaller game play on an 8 X 8 map and use 32 District markers. Pick your candidates characteristics instead of generating them randomly.

GLADIUS MINIATURES VARIANT by Patrick H. Lewis Introduction: These rules were designed to be used in conjunction with the Gladius card game and its supplement Gladiator School by Lloyd Krassner. They provide a way of using miniature figures to show the relative distance between the fighters and give the game a little more color and realism with only a moderate increase in complexity. The only extra equipment need for this variant are miniatures representing the gladiators and a rectangular card (the Display) that is divided into three equal parts across its length. The divisions of the card should be big enough to hold two figures. The card I use for my 28mm figures is 4 1/2" long and 1 1/2" wide (12cm x 4cm). It is divided into 3 squares 1 1/2"x 1 1/2" (4cm x 4cm). In place of miniature figures, counters, coins, pawns, salt and pepper shakers or any other suitable markers may be used just as long as the players can distinguish one marker from the other. How the Display Is Used: All of the rules of the original game are used, but with the following modifications: At the start of the game the figures are placed at opposite ends of the card facing each other. During the Maneuver Phase , after drawing and, if necessary, discarding a card, the player may announce that he is "closing" with his opponent, i.e. moving one space closer to him. If the space the gladiator wishes to move into is empty, he may play either an Attack card or a Defense card that he is capable of using, but if the space is occupied, he must play an Attack card and that card will be used in the following Attack Phase. A player may only make a "closing" move toward his opponent, not away from him. The selected card is placed face up on the table. A card that isn’t going to be used in the Attack Phase is placed on the discard pile. A card that is going to be used in the Attack Phase remains in front of the player. During the Attack Phase, those fighters armed with a sword or a dagger may only attack if their opponent is in the same space. The retiarius (who was the inspiration for this variant) may attack at a distance. If a fighter "closes" with his opponent and enters the same space , he will inflict one less damage point than usual if he has a successful attack. A retiarius that "closes" to a space adjacent to his opponent may use the Trident Thrust attack card and attack from that position, but likewise suffers a one point reduction in damage. No attack can be reduced to less than one point of damage. Fighters that do not move on the Display inflict the full amount of damage points if they have a successful attack. The Retiarius The retiarius may use the Cast Net card when he is one or two spaces away from his opponent. ( If the retiarius uses the Cast Net card in the same space as his opponent, players should visualize that he is swinging the net to trip or otherwise hinder his opponent.) He may use the Trident Thrust card when he is one space away or in the same space as his opponent, however, if he is in the same space, the amount of damage is reduced to one damage point due to the difficulty of wielding the trident effectively at very close range. He may only use the Dagger card if he is in the same space. The Withdraw card can be used by the retiarius in his opponent’s Attack phase even if he is not attacked. The card is played and the retiarius may move one or two spaces. (If the retiarius is moved two spaces, simply place the figures at opposite ends of the card.) If his opponent has the Reflexes Attribute, check to see if the card is negated. If the card has been negated, the retiarius may not move and the card is discarded. (Players should visualize that even though an attack wasn’t made, the opponent was able to react quickly enough to maintain the relative distance between the combatants.) If the card wasn’t negated, the retiarius may move one or two spaces away, however, if the he has taken 5 or more hits, he may move only one space. The retiarius may also move one space away from his opponent if he was attacked and has successfully defended himself using a Leap or Dodge card, however, if he has taken 5 or more hits, he may not be moved. Other Gladiators

980

The secutor, thracian, dimachaerus, murmillo, and samnite may use the Leap and Dodge cards in the same manner as the retiarius. (see above) In addition, the thracian may also use his Fleet Footed cards. The restriction on movement in regard to the number of hits applies as well. Other Cards All of the other attack cards that may be used by both players (exception: Sand in Eyes) can only be used if the fighters occupy the same space. The Sand in Eyes card may be used in the same space or one space away from an opponent. Dear Lloyd, I'm still plugging along on the playtesting, and I haven't settled on the card selection for the Hoplomachus and the Provocator. The Provocator may be redundant, since he seems to me to be very much like a Murmillo or a Samnite. The Hoplomachus, on the other hand, seems to be a lot like a Thracian but armed with a spear, and would have rules regarding the use of the spear that would be similar to the trident. I'm having some second thoughts about the reduction in the Retiarius' damage points when he attacks with the Trident Thrust card in the same square as his opponent. I think that reducing it to 1 point may be a bit too severe. So far, it hasn't been a huge factor in the game, but I did want to give the Retiarius player some incentive for keeping his distance. (As if there weren't enough already?!) I think my rationale for the penalty is sound enough, though. I hate dithering about such things, so I'll let it stand as it is. I'd be interested in your thoughts about it. I hope to give the rules a good workout this weekend. I'll let you know if I have any major changes. It's funny though...I've had several games where the Retiarius is holding a mit full of cards that the Secutor needs and vice versa. Frustrating, but fun!

GLADIUS INTRODUCTION Card game for two players. Common deck. Players are a pair of Roman Gladiators fighting to the death in the arena. One player is a type of gladiator called the Secutor. The other player is a type of gladiator called the Retiarius.

VICTORY Reduce your opponent to zero hit points. At this point, you have your opponent at your weapons tip, and you await the final judgment of the cheering crowd.

HIT POINTS Each Gladiator starts with 10 hit points.

SECUTOR Secutor: Used an egg-shaped helmet with round eye-holes, greave on one leg, arm protector, legionary-style shield and sword. The secutor was called a “chaser,” probably because he was frequently paired with the retiarius, who used running as one of his tactics.

RETIARIUS Retiarius (“net-and-trident” fighter): used an arm protector (often topped with a high metal shoulder protector), large net, trident, small dagger, no helmet; the retiarius was the only type of gladiator whose head and face were uncovered. Since he wore practically no defensive armor, the retiarius was more mobile than most gladiators but was also more vulnerable to serious wounds.

DECK Players share a common deck. The deck contains 56 cards.

SETUP Players start with a hand of 2 cards each.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. The Retiarius goes first. The turn has 4 phases: 1. Maneuver Phase 2. Attack Phase 3. Defense Phase 4. Hit Phase

MANEUVER PHASE Draw 1 card from the deck. You may keep 5 cards in your hand. Discard excess cards.

ATTACK PHASE Play 1 attack card that your fighter can use, from your hand, face up, onto the table. An Immobilized fighter cannot attack.

DEFENSE PHASE Your opponent may play a defense card, he can use, to counter your attack. Both cards are discarded.

HIT PHASE If your opponent does not play a defense card, your attack hits. There are 2 types of attack cards: Damage & Immobilize. A damage card reduces your opponents hit point total by the indicated amount. An Immobilize card means your opponent may not attack next turn. Discard the attack card.

OTHER GLADIATOR TYPES The Thracian and Murmillo were often paired together. To play an alternate gladiator type, remove the 18 cards specific to one type and replace them with

983

the 18 card set of the new type.

THRACIAN Thracian: Wide-brimmed crested helmet with visor, high greaves on both legs, arm protector, very small shield, and short, curved sword (Spartacus).

MURMILLO Murmillo: Were armed in Gallic fashion with helmet, large sword, and shield and were so called from the name of the fish that served as the crest of their helmet.

DIMACHAERI Dimachaeri: "two-knife men"of the later empire, carried a short sword in each hand.

SAMNITES Samnites: fought with the national weapons--a large oblong shield, a visor, a plumed helmet, and a short sword.

SOLO RULES by Gottardo Zancani: - One common deck - Draw as usual but the cards of your adversary are not usable for you (fog of war) - When you attack use a "mini-hand" for the defender: get 2 cards and use any defense card if available - Your adversary turn; use a "mini-hand" for the defender: get 3 cards and use the best attack card if available Options: - Mini-hand is 1-3 cards (depending on the gladiator type), with different defense/attack mini-hands. - Animals! replace the 18 specific cards with some new cards for lions, tigers, bears. The animals could have different hit points and mini-hand capabilities.

985

GO CHESS RULES Start with an empty chess board. Standard chess pieces are used. Players take turns. White goes first. Place any one of your pieces on any empty space on the board. You cannot put your opponent's king into check or checkmate. You cannot place your pawns on your opponent's back 4 rows. When you have placed all of your pieces, you may begin moving your pieces as in normal chess. At this point all regular chess rules apply. Capture your opponent's king to win.

GO JOE

INTRODUCTION G.I. Joe vs Cobra. 2 player game: Board, Cards, Dice.

THE DECKS There are 2 decks. One player gets the Joe Deck. The other player gets the Cobra Deck. A deck contains one of each card on its card list. The decks are kept face down.

VICTORY You win if you ever capture your opponents base, or you control all "Urban" spaces on the board.

THE MAP The map is a 8 X 8 grid. Map spaces must be large enough to place a card onto. In one corner is the Joe Base. In the opposite corner is the Cobra Base. The other 62 spaces are a random even mix of these 8 terrain types: Jungle Swamp Sea (Water) Desert Mountain Forest Urban Artic (Snow)

TEAMS Each player starts with 4 teams. Teams are represented by numbered counters on the map. Teams may not stack.

987

SETUP In setup one of a players teams starts in his base. The other 3 teams are adjacent to the players base. Each player starts with a hand of 8 cards. Roll high on 1D6 to see who goes first.

THE CARDS Each card represents a Soldier or a vehicle and driver. Each card has 3 Value Categories: Firepower (FP) Close Combat (CC) Tactics (TAC)

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 4 Phases: 1. Planning Phase 2. Logistics Phase 3. Mission Phase 4. Combat Phase

PLANNING PHASE Draw 2 cards from your deck or Place a new Team Counter on your base if it is empty. A Team may have a maximum of 5 team Members. If your deck runs out shuffle the discard and draw from it. Maximum hand size is 10 cards. Discard excess.

LOGISTICS PHASE You may place unit cards from your hand face down under any team counter that is on or adjacent to your base. If a team is in your base you may put all of its cards into your hand.

Armor & Air units moved seperately can join another Team. Reveal an Intelligence Unit to look at the cards in an adjacent enemy team.

COMBAT PHASE If two opposing teams occupy the same space they will fight. Both players flip their cards face up. Next, roll 1D6 to determine the type of fight: Roll: Result: 1-2 All units use their Firepower Score in this Fight.

988

Goblin Quest INTRO Teams of Goblins run around, get into mischief, wreak havoc, and try to not get killed. Not unlike Space Scouts.

THE CARDS Players draw from a common deck that includes: Mission, Threat, Mishap, and Aid cards.

SETUP You get 4 Goblins. Determine their skill picks, either by rolling on the chart or making your own choices. One Goblin is the Boss and gets 3 skills. The rest all get 2 picks apiece.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. 1. Draw Phase 2. Action Phase 3. End Phase

Each turn has 3 phases:

OBJECT Be the first team to reach X Victory Points (50 is good). Missions are worth from 1 to 7 points, depending on difficulty. Threats are worth from 0 to 3 points. Victory Points can be spent on giving your Goblins new skills (4 skills max). Replacing a regular Goblin that has been lost costs 4 VPs, plus 4 VPs for each skill pick. New Goblins get 2 skill picks, even if replacing the Boss.

DRAW PHASE Draw 2 cards. If the deck runs out, the game ends, and whoever has the most Victory Points wins.

ACTION PHASE You may decide whether to go on a Mission or hang out in the Warren. If you hang out in the Warren, you may replace any Goblins that you have been lost. Goblins cost 4 VPs to replace, plus 4 VPs for each skill pick (max 2 until he's gone on at least 1 mission). You may also spend VPs to give new skill picks to your current Goblins (5 VP per pick, max 4) or to draw one card. You can only do this once per turn. If you go on a Mission, play a Mission card from your

994

hand. Before you begin the Mission, any player (yourself included) may play a Threat on top of the Mission. Each player who wishes to do so plays one Threat at a time, starting with the player to your left and going around until every player has played all the Threats that they want. Once all the Threats have been played, they must be faced one at a time (in reverse order from how they were played). If your team has skills that match those on the Threat card, the Threat is overcome- add its Victory Points to your score and discard it. Otherwise, you fail the Threat. If all Threats are overcome, the team faces the Mission. If they have skills that match those on the Mission card, they complete the Mission successfully. Add its Victory points to your score and discard it. Otherwise, you fail the Mission. During a Mission (and/or Threat) you may play Aid cards to give your crew extra skills. Your opponents may play Mishap cards to cause your crew to lose skills. Aid and Mishap cards affect the team for the rest of the turn, and are discarded during the End Phase. If the Mission or a Threat is failed, roll on the Failure Result Table and go to the End Phase. The Mission remains face up on the table, and any Threats that you failed to overcome are left on top of it. Any player may attempt to complete it during their turn.

END PHASE If you have more than 10 cards in your hand, discard down to 10.

FAILURE RESULT TABLE 2d6 Result 2-3 Boss Lost the most skill picks 4-6 Delayed 7-9 Goblin Lost 10-11 Lose Stuff 12 Lucked Out

Effect Your team's Boss is eliminated, and replaced by the Goblin with Miss Next Turn. Randomly eliminate one of your team's Goblins (not the Boss). Discard 2 cards at random from your hand Nothing happens

RAMMING ATTACKS 1018

If a ship moves forward 1 or more spaces in a row, and is facing an opposing ship in its forward adjacent hex, it may ram it. Roll on the Ramming table: 1D10 Damage Result 1-2 No effect 3-6 Oars sheared: Opposing ship has –1D6 Move points 7-8 Opposing ship sinks in 2D6 turns and has –1D6 Move points 9 Opposing ship sinks in 1D6 turns and has –1D6 Move points 10+ Opposing ship sinks (is immediately destroyed) Subtract 5 if the rammer moved less than 3 spaces in a row to reach its target. If both ships are facing each other subtract 2. The attacking ship adds its Ram bonus to the roll. The defending ship subtracts its Ram bonus from the roll. The defending ship subtracts its Hull advantage from the roll. A ship cannot move any more on the same turn after ramming.

BOARDING ATTACKS If an opposing ship is adjacent you may board it on a roll of 6-10 on 1D10. The ships are considered to be grappled. Add 1 if you have a Harpax. Add 1 if you have a Corvus. Add 1 if you are the larger ship. Add 1 if you rammed the ship this turn. Add 1 if the ships are rammed together. For each 10 crew you have (rounding up) roll 1D6. This is the number of enemy crew lost. The opposing ship simultaneously rolls and inflicts casualties. A ship with no crew cannot move or attack. An empty ship may be captured by an adjacent ship. The capturer may split its crew between the 2 boats.

MORALE PHASE Roll on the following table. 1D10 Result 0 Rout or Surrender (or Abandon Ship) if enemy ship adjacent 1-2 Rout: Try to escape 3-10 Keep fighting Add +2 if no crew have been killed yet this battle. -3 if sinking. -2 if half of crew are dead. -1 if adjacent to enemy ship with larger crew. -1 if enemy has more Size points worth of ships. -2 if any friendly ships in 20 hexes are routing.

LEGENDARY CAPTAINS & CREWS Each ship has 1 Captain. The basic Captain has 0-1 skill. Heroic Captains have 2 or more skills. Elite crews will also have 1 or more skills. Nationality indicates skills exemplified by certain cultures. 1D6 Skill Notes Nationality 1 Melee +1 to all rolls in Boarding Phase Spartan 2 Sailing +1 to Sailing roll Phoenician 3 Rowing +1 Move point Egyptian 4 Rally +2 to Morale roll Roman 5 Ramming +1 to Ram bonus Athenian 6 Missiles +1 to hit with all Missile attacks Persian

GUILD MASTER INTRODUCTION Players take the role of founding fathers of a medieval town. The best builder earns the title of Guild Master.

THE CARDS There are 116 cards listed. These will have to be manufactured by the players. Information on the card must include: The card name, resources it provides, and bonuses it receives.

SET UP Shuffle the Deck thoroughly. Each player is dealt 5 cards. Determine player turn order by any convenient method.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. A turn consists of the following phases: 1. First Draw Phase 2. First Trade Phase 3. Discard Phase 4. Second Draw Phase 5. Second Trade Phase 6. Build Phase

DRAW PHASES The current player may draw up to 5 cards. If you already have 5 or more cards in your hand you can't draw anymore cards.

TRADE PHASES The current player may trade cards with other willing players. Trades cannot be forced. A player never has to show his cards or do a trade. Trades do not have to be equal. For example: Two for one.

DISCARD PHASE The current player may discard from zero to three cards into the discard pile.

BUILD PHASE The current player picks one resource category out of the 10 available. If the player has any cards of that resource in his hand he may 'build' them. 'Built' cards are placed face up in front of the player. A player 'owns' all the location cards he builds. These cards count towards the players' victory calculation at the end of the game.

1032

END OF GAME The game ends at the end of the turn the last card is drawn from the deck.

VICTORY CALCULATION When the game ends each player adds up all the points they've accumulated in each of the 10 resource categories. Players may want to keep a running total during play. Each location put in play provides two resource points in one category or one resource point in two categories. Example: TT = Two resource points in the Trade/ Transportation resource category Many cards give a bonus resource point if you own another specific card. Example: You get an extra T for the Trade Route card if you also own the Cross Roads card. The player with the highest score in the most categories is the winner.

RESOURCE CATEGORIES # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

GAME DESIGNERS NOTES You can of course add more cards, remove some, change others, etc. A few key changes would give the game a Roman flavor. Other 'flavors' could include: Western town, Space colony, Military base, Modern city, Renaissance city state, Oriental town, Arabian city, Industrial Era town, etc. The resource categories may be changed as well to suit the milieu. The above card list is not strictly medieval. There are anachronisms, fantasy elements, and cross-cultural references. You may want to clean it up to make it historically accurate.

INSPIRING RESPONSE Hello! My name is Aaron Dalton, I am a High School English Teacher in Evanston, Wyoming. I am also an avid gamer, and stumbled across your site from the ed games newsletter. Wow! What a resource. I had an opportunity to create about 75% of the cards for your game "Guildmaster". We were able to play a modified version, each student alloted 3 cards, plust a few random students with 4 or 5. We played two rounds, and it went really well. Our "Guildmaster" had 16 points in one resource, but ended up owing many favors for cards given to her. I designed the cards with roads. As the students built their holdings, they had to match up the roads, and tape them to the chalkboard. The resulting city was very chaotic, and went along well with our non-fiction reading "The Labyrinthine City of Fez" by Anais Nin. It served as a take-off point for our discussion of the story. Thank you very much! It is always fun to meet a fellow gamer, and to try something new. Please send any replies to [email protected]. Sincerely, Aaron Dalton

INCREASED PLAYER INTERACTION VARIANT 1035

by Marcelo Paschoalin ([email protected]) The changes on the original rules are on ALL CAPS. The major changes on the game are below. Everything else is the same as the original.

---------------------------------1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

First Draw Phase GUILDMASTER PHASE First Trade Phase Discard Phase Second Draw Phase Second Trade Phase Build Phase

DRAW PHASES ALL PLAYERS may draw up to 5 cards. If you already have 5 or more cards in your hand you can't draw anymore cards.

GUILDMASTER PHASE Using his hand of cards, each player makes a hidden bid to achieve the title of Guildmaster. After all the players have decided on the amount of cards they will bid, they must tell to the other players the amount chosen. If there's a draw, the players not involved on the draw must choose by open vote who will be the Guildmaster. If there's no agreement on that, chance will dictate who will be the Guildmaster (coin toss, dice roll, lotery numbers...).

TRADE PHASES ALL PLAYERS may trade cards with other willing players. THERE'S NO LIMIT ON

TRADES. Trades cannot be forced. A player never has to show his cards or do a trade. Trades do not have to be equal. For example: Two for one.

DISCARD PHASE ALL PLAYERS may discard from zero to three cards into the discard pile.

BUILD PHASE THE GUILDMASTER picks one resource category out of the 10 available. If the PLAYERS HAVE any cards of that resource in his hand THEY may 'build' them. 'Built' cards are placed face up in front of the player. A player 'owns' all the location cards he builds. These cards count towards the players' victory calculation at the end of the game.

VICTORY CALCULATION When the game ends each player adds up all the points they've accumulated in

each of the 10 resource categories. Players may want to keep a running total during play. Each location put in play provides two resource points in one category or one resource point in two categories. Example: TT = Two resource points in the Trade/ Transportation resource category Many cards give a bonus resource point if you own another specific card. Example: You get an extra T for the Trade Route card if you also own the Cross Roads card.

EACH PLAYER GAINS POINTS EQUAL TO THE AMOUNT OF RESOURCE POINTS ON HIS _WORST_ CATEGORY, PLUS ONE POINT ON EACH CATEGORY HE HAS MORE RESOURCE POINTS THEN THE OTHER PLAYERS. IF MORE THEN ONE PLAYER LEADS A CATEGORY WITH THE SAME AMOUNT OF RESOURCE POINTS OF ANOTHER PLAYER, BOTH GAIN THE BONUS POINT. Example: On the end of a game with 5 players, the resource points on the 10 categories (F, T, C, R, G, M, P, A, L, I) are below: Sue: 10, 4, 4, 4, 0, 3, 6, 3, 0, 12 Tom: 5, 8, 2, 2, 2, 5, 6, 6, 6, 4 Jeff: 6, 9, 4, 0, 5, 1, 5, 8, 1, 7 Bill: 7, 10, 1, 2, 2, 4, 3, 4, 2, 9 Jane: 5, 7, 2, 1, 2, 4, 1, 5, 5, 12 Sue ends the game with 5 points (0 on the worst category; leads on F, C, R, P, I) Tom ends the game with 5 points (2 on the worst category; leads on M, P, L) Jeff ends the game with 3 points (0 on the worst category; leads on C, G, A) Bill ends the game with 2 points (1 on the worst category; leads on T) Jane ends the game with 2 points (1 on the worst category; leads on I)

GUNDAM WING by Emil Srdoc

INTRODUCTION Variant of Mekatac incorporating Mobile Suit Gundam background material.

DISCLAIMER Mobile Suit Gundam is a licensed, copyrighted property. This is merely a fan site.

PIECES Use Miniatures. Dice required. Paper and pencil required.

SETUP One player designs the scenario. The other player picks which side he wants to control.

TURN SEQUENCE 1. Initiative Phase 2. Movement Phase

INITIATIVE PHASE If 6 or less mobile suits are fighting, roll 1D10 for each Mobile suit in Play. Add move points to the roll. Highest roll moves first, lowest roll moves last. All the rest are in between, based on their roll. If there are two or more suits with same initiative, roll their dice again. If more suits are involved, roll 1D10 for each side, and add slowest unit's move points. Suits are then moved starting with the side that rolled highest, and moving alternately until all Suits have had opportunity to move. In addition to this, you can make an activation roll for each Suit you wish to move. This is done by rolling a 1D6, and if the roll is equal to or less than Pilot's quality, you get to move the suit. Pilot's quality can go from 2 for Green to 5 for Elites. (6 is reserved for ZERO system users)

MOVEMENT PHASE Each suit can attack with each of its Weapons once per turn. Suit can attack at any point during its move phase. Unless punch/kick attack is made, in which case no other weapon may be used. SUIT MOVE SIZE SIZE POINTS HITS CLASS 2 8 10 Small 3 8 10 Small

1038

4 7 10 Small 5 7 15 Medium 6 6 15 Medium 7 6 20 Medium 8 5 20 Medium 9 5 25 Large 10 4 25 Large 11 4 30 Large 12 3 30 Large Notes: One move point can be used to move the suit forward one inch or for one turn of up to 60 degrees. Cost is equal to suit's size. Gundams cost is size*3, but their size and hits are doubled, while all other values remain unchanged.

ATTACKS Ranged attacks hit on a roll of 6+ on 1D10. HTH attacks hit on a roll of 3+ on 1D10. If target is Small, -1 to hit, if Large, +1. If suit moved this turn: -1 to hit with ranged weapons. The ranges listed are long range. Attacks at half this distance (rounded up) are +1 to hit. Firing at point blank (quarter long range, rounded down) are +2 to hit. If in HTH combat, add speed difference between attacking and defending suit. Plasma weapons & Flamethrowers are +1 to hit. The Bomb is a self destruct mechanism. All suits within 1 inch take 4D10 Damage. Polearms attack all targets within range and in weapons attack arc. Any HTH weapon used against hand weapons has -4 to hit, against polearms only -2. HTH weapons ignore all sorts of protection. All weapons attack into a 180 degree arc. The arc is determined by the suits weapon configuration. Arcs include: (F)orward, (L)eft, (R)ight, and (B)ack. The arcs overlap. Only 1 class of weapon may attack into an arc during 1 turn.

CRITICAL DAMAGE TABLE D10 System Damaged Notes: 1 Leg Destroyed Suit cannot move or change facing but can still attack 2 Pilot Shaken Pilot takes 1D6 hits 3 Jets destroyed No move bonus & Fall if flying.

GUNSLINGER ATTRIBUTES Each gunslinger has 7 numerical attributes: Guts: Number of hits he can take before dying. Smarts: Maximum action card hand size. Cool: Number of action cards he can draw in Draw Phase Legs: Max number of spaces he can move in one turn. Arms: Ability in HTH combat (Allows use of certain cards) Eyes: Weapon Accuracy (Allows use of certain cards) Hands: Max number of attacks the gunslinger can make per turn.

SETUP Set up the board with terrain feature chits. Determine how many gunslingers each player will control. Each player places his gunslingers on squares of his back two rows. Each Gunslinger starts with a full hand of cards.

THE ACTION CARDS Gunslingers share a common deck of action cards. The deck contains 3 copies of each card in the Card list.

TURN SEQUENCE gunslingers take turns. Each turn has 3 phases: Draw Phase Move Phase Shoot Phase

DRAW PHASE Draw a number of action cards equal to the gunslingers Cool attribute. Max hand size = Smarts Attribute. If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it. Discard excess cards.

MOVE PHASE Play (discard) a Move card to move your gunslinger. The move card has a number.

1045

This is the number of spaces the man moves. Moves can be diagonal or orthogonal. “Knight” type move cards allow a man to move like a knight in chess. A man can only use one move card per turn. Men may not stack.

SHOOT PHASE Play (discard) an Attack card to have the gunslinger attack. The attack card has a number. This is the range of the attack. Attacks can be diagonal or orthogonal. “Knight” type attack cards produce an attack with a range like a knight in chess. Attacks do one wound (Hit of damage) to the target. Use Chits or coins to record damage. A man reduced to 0 Hits (Guts) is killed and removed from the board. Each hit reduces the value of all attributes by one. Your opponent may play Defense cards to negate your attack.

SETUP All Use The The The

sides start with 20 armies. counters to represent armies. Communists start in the Northwest Nationalists start in the Southwest and South. Japanese start in the North and East.

VICTORY The game ends after 9 years. Keep track of the year (turn number). The game starts in 1939 and ends in 1945. The Game ends right before the Atomic bombs are dropped. The player controlling the most cities at the end wins.

REINFORCEMENT PHASE Each player gains a number of armies equal to: 1 Free Army + 1 Army for every 2 cities the player controls. New Armies are placed in or adjacent to a controlled city.

ACTION PHASE During his action phase a player may move and attack with his armies. A player gets 20 action points (AP) at the beginning of his phase. Every time he moves an army or attacks with an army he must discard 1 AP. An individual unit may move and attack multiple times. Unused AP are discarded at the end of the turn. Armies may not stack.

BATTLES 1718

The active player may attack an adjacent opposing army. Both players fill their hands to 10 cards. Players may discard up to 4 cards and draw replacements. Each card has a force value.

SKYIE WARP PLAY INTRODUCTION Fantasy with an arial bent.

TACTICAL RULES Click here for the tactical rules.

WORLD BACKGROUND The details of the war of the wizards is forever lost in time. The results of that war still afflict us and forever will. Eons later the residues of their mighty magics are still at work. Whole continents shattered into tiny fragments float in or above a sea of burning blood. The only way the isolated survivors could travel, trade, or communicate was by flying. Everything that could fly was forced into service by whomever found it first. Things that should never fly were made to by magic and ingenuity. The landscape is still in ruins but the skies are filled with the most marvelous beasts and wondrous contraptions as never existed before. Men still travel, trade, and make war, but now they do it in the air on the backs of their creatures and creations in this world we now call Skyie.

SIGHTS OF SKYIE Some of the remaining solid earth rises from the boiling blood sea, however, most of the land fragments (or rocks) float in the air at a variety of elevations. These fragments are moving or stationary. Some tumble. Some rise and fall into the sea. Smaller ones can be pushed around. Most are land. Some have springs of pure water. Some have waterfalls that shower the fragments beneath. Some are balls of shimmering water or muddy swamp. Some are barren and others have giant trees. Some are giant veins of precious metals with mining towns forming scaffolding all around and underneath. The city-states have many fragments connected together by stone bridges. Far above these are the cloud cities of the Djinn and the Giants. Very isolated fragments are the roosts of hawkmen and hideouts of pirates. Great ships and swarms of flyers lay siege to Floating Castles that are held aloft by powerful spells. Tribal humanoids defend their tunneled-out rocks with great tenacity. There are rocks of solid Ice and others of burning sand. Small frags are the lairs of mythical monsters, hermits and even families. Great schools of flying fish are pursued by magical whales and the vessels of flying fishermen. Tremendous Storms, Magical Vortexes, and plumes of Fire may send fragments spinning out of their orbit. The ruins of pre-cataclysm cities can be found exposed on the surface of many rocks. Artifacts of the ancient wizards still remain to be found. The faeries of the woods and waters have all sprouted wings and taken to the air. Insects have been magically bred into giant forms to serve as steeds. Demons and their horrible mounts rise from the depths burning sea in search of victims. Undead riders move from rock to rock killing the inhabitants and using the corpses to swell their ranks. Lawless barbarian raiders of all races take every chance to terrorize and pillage their neighbors. Skyie is a world of great beauty and even greater danger.

SLIMED INTRODUCTION Ghostbuster Backgammon. One player is the Ghostbusters (GB). The other player is the Ghosts.

RULES Use a regular backgammon board. Same Rules as backgammon except for the following differences: The Ghostbuster player has on only 5 pieces. In setup these are placed one each on the last 5 points on his side of the board. The Ghost player has 20 pieces. In setup these are placed in 4 stacks of 3 on the last 5 points on his side of the board. When a Ghostbuster piece captures a ghost piece it is sent to the bar. The bar is called “The Containment Field”. Ghosts cannot escape the bar. If a ghost captures a ghostbuster the GB is “slimed”. A slimmed GB remains where it is trapped under the ghost that caught it. If the ghost moves, the GB is un-slimmed and may move. Any number of Ghosts may stack onto a slimmed GB. If only one Ghost is slimmimg a GB, another GB may land on the Ghost and capture it, setting the first GB free. The GB wins when all the Ghosts are put in the containment field. The Ghosts win if all the GB are slimmed. Pieces never “end-off” the board, they keep going around. Pieces continue to circle the board until the victory conditions are met.

SMART GAMING by [email protected]

SMART FUNDIMENTAL RULES SIMPLE MINIATURE ADVENTURE RULES AND TACTICS INTRODUCTION These miniature rules may be used for fantasy or medieval miniature war gaming, but can easily be adapted to any genre. These rules were inspired from Little Armies by H. G. Wells and Kreigspiel.

COMPONENTS You will need plastic or metal miniatures (or counters) and, if you wish, some terrain (expensive, fancy terrain, or simple paper cutouts). You will also need a twenty sided die (d20).

PLAYERS In addition to however many players are playing armies, one should follow the classic idea of having a Judge ("Time Keeper" or "Umpire"), to make rulings on combat resolutions. This is a simple game, and interpretation of rules will be an issue.

SCALE In the fundamental rules, one may use a 100:1, 10:1 OR 1:1 scale. All that matters is that the scale is constant for each and every unit.

THE RULES SET UP Set up the table top as each player sees fit.

THE TURN 1. THE MOVE Each player rolls a d20. The highest number moves their miniatures first, then the next highest roll, and so on. FOOT SOLDIERS AND SMALL OR MEDIUM MONSTERS (goblins, skeletons, fairies, etc) move 6 inches in one turn. KNIGHTS AND LARGE MONSTERS move 12 inches. The Judge will have to decide how terrain barriers, such as bushes and low walls affect movement rates. Obviously high walls and trees are complete barriers to one's path of movement.

1723

2. PROJECTILES Beginning with the first player (he who rolled the highest in the move phase), projectile combat is resolved (e.g., bows, crossbows, slings, etc.) The effective range for projectiles is 30 inches. For each inch past 30 inches, a +1 modifier is added to those units COMBAT ROLL. The COMBAT ROLL IS RESOLVED BY THE PLAYER ROLLING A D20 FOR EACH UNIT FIRING. The base chance to hit an opponent is a roll of 11 or higher. Each +1 penalty for range is added to that base chance. So an archer aiming at a target 50 inches away must roll a 12 or higher in order to hit. If there is intervening terrain in the way of the target, one must roll a d20 if the combat roll is successful. If one rolls a 1-10, the arrow or bolt hits that obstacle instead. If one is firing into hand-to-hand combat, the same roll is made. On a roll of 1-10 one hits their own unit instead of the target. The projectile phase continues with the Second Player, the Third, and so on till each player has a chance to fire their bows or crossbows.

3. HAND-TO-HAND When two or more units approach 1 inch of each other they may engage in hand-to-hand combat. For the first turn of that combat the player with the longest weapon goes first, then the one with the second longest, and so on. Combat between units with equal sized weapons is simultaneous. If the units continue to fight each other in subsequent turns, then the order is reversed: the shortest weapon goes first. The COMBAT ROLL IS RESOLVED BY ROLLING A D20. The chance to hit is a roll of 11 or higher. If one hits, then they score 1 point of damage. The armor that is worn by the unit is considered into this damage, by its ABSORPTION LEVEL. Each piece of armor may absorb one (1) point of damage for each level it has:

LEATHER OR PADDING 1 SHIELD 2 CHAIN MAIL 3 PLATE 4 When there is no absorption level left for that unit, then the unit itself receives the next point of damage, and is defeated.

DUNGEON IDEAS The Judge can arrange dungeon setting and labyrinths with wall terrain, to create a dungeon adventure for the players. Players may play a 1:1 scale, working together to battle monsters that the Judge attacks them with.

SPECIAL RULES LARGE MONSTERS For Dragons and other large and powerful monsters, one may wish to give the monster an absorption level of 5, to represent its large size and tough hide.

1724

For dragons one may give it a special attack in the Projectiles phase with its dragon breath. Dragon breath may affect an area of 3 inches by 3 inches in front it, dealing out 5 points of damage to each unit in that area. In my NARNIA campaign, I give each unit a chance to make a FAITH role to avoid all damage from dragon breath or magic. If the unit rolls 11-20 on a d20 it avoids all damage from dragon breath or magic.

COMING SOON: SMART BASIC RULES -Skirmish rules -unit experience -tough monsters -magic rules

INTRODUCTION These rules are expansions to the SMART FUNDIMENTAL RULES. FUNDIMENTAL RULES, these focus more on the Fantasy genre.

Unlike the

EXPERIENCE The experience rules provide a way to increase the effectiveness of veteran units. These rules can be used for any scale, whether it is 1:1 or 1:100, or more. When a unit defeats an enemy unit, it receives experience points (xp). As that unit accumulates more experience, its level rises. All units are considered to be 1st level when they enter a player's army. These rules are only for human units (infantry, archers and knights). The level of monsters should be always at a level decided by the Judge.

UNIT EXPERIENCE LEVELS LEVEL XP 1st 2nd 3rd The

level level level formula

0 24 54 for xps needed to advance in level: levelxlevelx6

UNIT XPS AWARDED LEVEL XP 1st 2nd 3rd The

level level level Formula

1 4 9 for xps awarded for defeat a unit: level squared (levelxlevel)

THE EFFECTS OF EXPERIENCE COMBAT (PROJECTILE AND HAND-TO-HAND) The target to hit is still the same (11-20 on 1d20). To hit a target, the unit rolls the 1d20 adds that attacking units Experience level to the roll, and subtracts the defending unit's experience level from the roll. If the

1725

modified score is 11-20, it is a hit.

Other wise, no damage is inflicted.

DAMAGE The unit inflicts 1 damage point per level. A unit can absorbs (after armor has absorbed as much damage as it can) as many damage points in a battle as it has levels (e.g., a 3rd level knight, after his plate armor and shield have absorbed their maximum damage, can receive 3 damage points before being defeated).

SAMPLE MONSTERS AND THEIR LEVELS Examples are from my NARNIA SMART CAMPAIGN: FIRST LEVEL MONSTERS GOBLINS GIANT BATS SKELETONS SPRITE DEMONS SECOND LEVEL MONSTERS GHOULS HOBGOBLINS MAGICIAN (can cast two spells per battle) GIANT SNAKE ZOMBIE THIRD LEVEL MONSTERS GIANT CENTEPEDES DWARF ELF (can cast three spells per day) GNOME

VERY SIMPLE MAGIC SYSTEM A creature, who can cast spells, has a range in inches equal to its level. If the battle is on a 1:1 scale, then its area of effect has a diameter equal to the spell caster's level. If the battle is not a skirmish (i.e., the scale is greater than 1:1, then the area of effect is 1 unit). The spell causes 1 point of damage per spell caster's level. In my NARNIA CAMPAIGN, I give the good guys a FAITH roll to avoid all magic damage. The unit rolls 1d20: if the roll, with the unit's level added to it, is 11 or greater, they avoid all magic damage or effects. A fair Judge should also devise some sort of magic resistance roll for victim units.

COMING SOON: SMART INTERMEDIATE RULES -More powerful sample creatures -A larger experience list (so you don't have to do the calculations yourself -The importance of terrain (and tips on really inexpensive terrain!)

SOAPBOX INTRODUCTION Game of Oration. Players pretend to be USA presidential candidates.

PLAYER ROLES There are 3 types of Player Roles: 1. Candidates At least 2 players 2. Judge One player only 3. Citizens All remaining Players

SETUP Players decide what roles they want to be. Determine how much time is available to play. The Judge picks which issues he wants to cover in the allotted time.

SEQUENCE OF PLAY The Judge picks one issue. Each candidate gets 2-5 minutes to address the issue. The Judge determines speaking order, rules of conduct, and watches the clock. Candidates should explain how they as president of the USA would solve the problem. After all candidates speak on an issue, the Judge and the citizens vote to see which of the candidates they most agree with on that particular issue. The candidate that gets the most votes for that issue gets an “Electoral Vote”. If the Issue vote is a tie, neither candidate gets an Electoral Vote. At the end of the gaming session, the player with the most Electoral Votes wins the presidential election.

SOLAR INVASION 2100 INTRODUCTION The year is 2100. Human beings have been intensively colonizing the solar system for the last 70 years in relative peace.

THE MAP Each player gets an identical space hex map. Place a counter representing Earth in the center. Place the L4 and L5 space stations 15 spaces from earth on either side. Place the moon 10 spaces from Earth. NEOSTAT or Near Earth Orbit Station is adjacent to Earth and moves 1 hex per turn in orbit clockwise. GEOSTAT-5 or Geo-synchronous Orbiting Station is 2 hexes from Earth and moves 1 hex per turn in orbit clockwise. There are many more space stations and satellites in Earth orbit, however these are the only ones with weapons.

VICTORY The Earth wins if all of the Mother Ships are destroyed. The fighters are not jump capable, and will self destruct. The Aliens win if Earth is destroyed.

COUNTERS Use counters or chits to represent units and Attack markers.

SETUP Units may stack. The Human player sets up first. The shuttles are located on Earth or NEOSTAT. 5 Transports are located at each of these 4 sites: NEOSTAT, the Moon, L-4, L-5. The Alien Fleet starts within 2 hexes of any 1 side of the map.

REINFORCEMENTS Every 3rd turn the Earth gains the ability to launch one additional Missile per turn. 8 Transports arrive from Mars on turn 4. 2 Transports arrive from Venus on turn 6. 8 Excavators arrive from the Asteroids on turn 8. 6 Solar Sails arrive from Mercury on turn 10. 6 Ramjets arrive from Jupiter on turn 12.

NUCLEAR WARHEADS The governments of Earth have more than 20,000 nuclear warheads in storage left over from earlier arms races. At the start of the invasion the earth can only launch 8 per turn from Ground based launchers. Missiles launched from Earth and NEOSTAT are large ICBMs. Missiles launched from shuttles & transports are smaller & have shorter ranges.

1729

LASERS & MASS DRIVERS The giant lasers on L-4, L-5, and GEOSTAT are for pushing Solar Sails around. There are other giant lasers in the solar system, but they are not effective weapons at this range. Numerous other stations have less powerful lasers, also for the same purpose. Solar Sail ships are capable of concentrating and redirecting these laser emissions. The Tycho base Mass Driver is normally used to send materials mined on the moon to other locations. Special 'Catcher' Transport ships are used to recover the shipments. The excavator ships from the asteroid fields are actually small hollowed out asteroids filled with refineries. Small Mass drivers on board can be used for propulsion and as weapons. There are other mass drivers in the solar system, but they are not effective weapons at this range. Ramjets are able to fire directed bursts of ionic plasma from their engines. Ramjets scoop up gasses from the outer atmospheres of the gas giants. The Mercury Solar Array collects solar energy from the sun. This energy is beamed to collector dishes at other far away stations in the form of Infra-red radiation.

THE ALIENS The Kathar are still a young race: aggressive, and impetuous. They have conquered numerous other less militant races. They are currently fighting wars on several fronts. Initial reconnaissance of Earth mistook us for a peaceful race. There was no reports of Nuclear Weapon stockpiles. A small task force was sent to enslave us. The Kathar ships use antimatter energy weapons.

TURN SEQUENCE Both players go simultaneously. Each turn has 2 Phases: 1. Action Phase 2. Resolution Phase

ACTION PHASE Each player moves his units and places his attack markers on his own map. Players cannot look at each others maps. Each unit can move a number of spaces up to its speed rating. Units may stack. If a unit is attacking, place an Attack Marker on the target space. The target space must be within the units range. U = Unlimited range. Rotate counters 180 degrees to indicate that they have moved and attacked. All Shuttles and Transports start the game unarmed. Up to 7 Shuttles and/or Transports can be loaded with Missiles per turn in near earth orbit. Once armed these units have enough missiles for the rest of the battle. Alien Ships may not move onto moons, planets, or stations.

RESOLUTION PHASE Players look at each others maps. If an attack marker occupies the same hex as an enemy unit, than that unit takes 1 Hit of damage per attack marker. Remove the Attack markers from the board once resolved or leave them stacked on the Target to keep track of damage.

1730

Any unit that takes damage equal to or in excess of its hits is destroyed and removed from the board. If there is more than 1 enemy unit stacked in the space, all are hit by the attack.

SINGLE BOARD VARIANT Use just one hex map. All units from both players are on the same map. Attack counters are unnecissary if the attacks are resolved immediately. Players take turns moving and attacking. The Aliens go first. To resolve an attack roll a six sided die: On a roll of 1-3 the attack misses. On a roll of 4-6 the attack hits.

SOLITAIRE CONQUEST INTRODUCTION Solitaire board and card game with a fantasy conquest theme

THE BOARD Draw a map of a continent with 12 connected regions. Name them if you like. Each region must be large enough to hold one stack of cards.

THE DECKS There are two decks: The Foe deck and the Ally deck. The Foe deck has 44 cards.

SETUP 11 of the 12 regions are dealt 4 cards each. These stacks of 4 cards are called ‘Hordes’. Horde cards are face up. Place a pawn in the empty space. The pawn represents your army.

TURN SEQUENCE Each turn has 4 Phases: Raise Army Phase Reinforcement Phase March Phase Conquest Phase

RAISE ARMY PHASE Draw 3 cards from the Ally deck.

REINFORCEMENT PHASE You may draw one card from the Ally deck. You may repeat this phase.

MARCH PHASE You may move your pawn one or more regions. You must end your move adjacent to a region with a horde.

CONQUEST PHASE You may destroy one Horde in region that is adjacent to your pawn. Your army must have a higher Force total than the target Horde.

An army of a Monk(Force = 1), a Hero(Force = 7) and Elf Warriors(Force = 3) would have a total force = 11 (13 vs a Horde with 1 or more Dragons) 2) Can you use all of the allies in your hand in a given battle? ---You have to use all of them. 3) The first phase allows you to draw 3 allies, the next phase allows you to draw 1 and then another 1. If you can always draw 5 allies what is the purpose of having 2 phases? ---You can draw as many as you like. The 2 phases was supposedly to avoid confusion (Oh well) 4) You lose if you don't defeat all the Hordes. That implies that you only go through the ally deck once. Correct? ---Absolutely correct. 5) There is a point bonus for conserving allies. Is there any standard to evaluate the quality of victory? That is, if you get only the bare 10 points it's a marginal victory, if you have 15 points it's a great victory, if you have 20 points it's a spectacular victory, etc. By the same token, is there any standard to evaluate the quality of defeat? That is, if you have only 1 region left unconquered it's a temporary defeat, if you have 3 left unconquered it's a campaign defeat, if you have 5 left unconquered it's a catastrophic defeat, etc. ---Sounds good to me.

SOLO RULES FOR MYTHOS THE CTHULHU COLLECTIBLE CARD GAME by CHAOSIUM

OBJECTIVE Rules for common deck Solo play.

TO WIN Complete any one Adventure card you have drawn. You immediately lose the game if your investigator is ever reduced to zero or less sanity.

SETUP Take all of your Mythos cards and shuffle them together in a common deck, including adventure cards. Add and remove cards to suit your tastes. Pick an investigator. You start with no cards in your hand. Draw and discard cards until you get a location card. Put that location into play.

TURN SEQUENCE When you have nothing else you can do draw a card. Some cards have to be played immediately, others can be put in your hand. Maximum hand size is 13 cards. Discard excess cards. If you draw a location card of the same region as your current location immediately put it into play and discard the previous location. If you draw a location card from a different region, you may go there if you discard an appropriate travel card from your hand, otherwise put the location card in your hand. You can always go to Dream locations from anywhere. From a Dream location you can to any other location. If you draw an ally, tome, or artifact card you may put it into play if you are at a matching location, otherwise put it in your hand. If you draw a corrupt cultist you are immediately attacked by it. If you draw a monster while at a gate site you are immediately attacked by it, otherwise discard it. Ignore joining. The strength of an attacker causes a loss of that many sanity points, or points worth of allies. Allies recieving any damage are discarded. If you draw a spell card you may attach it to an appropriate card, otherwise put it in your hand. Spell cards are discarded as soon as they are cast. If you draw a phobia card it effects you. If you draw an adventure card set aside in a separate pile. If you complete this or any adventure card you draw, you win the game. A "round" now means the next three draws. A "turn" now means until the end of all responses to the next draw. If you draw a great old one it immediately goes into play and replaces the previous great old one.

REINTERPRETATION OF CARDS 1735

Many cards that target your opponent, will have no affect in solo play. For example: "Curse of the Rat thing" does nothing. The "Tiara of Opulent Fantasy", "Ambush", and "Mist of R'lyeh" do nothing. Cards that increase the value of your threat now instead decrease the strength of attackers. For example: "Unaussprechlichen Kulten" decreases the the strength of living dead by 1. Other cards now target the last card drawn instead of your opponent. For example: "Yithian Mental Contact" can be used to negate a card just drawn and "Instability in the Mythos" can negate an attacker just drawn. Spells that target opponent's allies now target attacking corrupt allies. Some event cards now target you instead of your opponent. For example: "Townsfolk Riot" targets your investigator. Event cards now target your allies instead of your opponents allies. For example: "Influenza" and "Hound of Tindalls" target your allies. In addition to these examples, many more cards have to be reinterpreted, a task left to the eager investigator.

SOMALIA 93

INTRODUCTION Card game for 2 players. Theme: The US Mogadishu Operation in Somalia on October 3, 1993. One player is the Americans. The other player is the Somalis.

DECKS One player uses the American Deck. The other player uses the Somali Deck. Each deck has 45 cards. Each deck has 3 suites and 15 cards in each suite. The 3 suites in the American deck are: S = Soldiers W = Weapons and Vehicles T = Tactics The 3 suites in the Somali deck are: C = Combatants F = American Friction (& Blunders) T = Tactics & Weapons Each card has a Force Value from 1 to 5.

TURN SEQUENCE Each turn has 5 phases: Logistics Phase Deployment Phase Contact Phase Combat Phase Casualty Phase

LOGISTICS PHASE Each player draws 7 cards from his own Deck. If the deck runs out, shuffle the Reserve pile and draw from it.

DEPLOYMENT PHASE 1737

Each player may discard up to 5 cards to their Reserve pile and draw replacement cards. If the deck runs out, shuffle the Reserve pile and draw from it.

CONTACT PHASE Both players reveal their hands. They place their cards face up on the table.

COMBAT PHASE Each player determines their Combat Force Total (CFT) for their hand: The American Player adds up the Force Values of all Soldier cards and adds 1. This is the Soldier Total (ST). The American Player adds up the Force Values of all Weapon cards and adds 1. This is the Weapon Total (WT). The American Player adds up the Force Values of all Tactics cards and adds 1. This is the Tactics Total (TT). American CFT = ST x WT x TT The Somali Player adds up the Force Values of all Combatant cards and adds 1. This is the Combatant Total (CT). The Somali Player adds up the Force Values of all Friction cards and adds 1. This is the Blunder Total (FT). The Somali Player adds up the Force Values of all Tactics cards and adds 1. This is the Tactics Total (TT). Somali CFT = CT x FT x TT

CASUALTY PHASE If the Somalis have a higher total, the Americans suffer 8 casualties. If the Americans have a higher total, they suffer 2 casualties. Flip a coin if there is a tie.

OBJECT If the Americans win 3 hands in a row, they are able to extract their comrades and escape. The game ends when this happens. Count the total number of American casualties. Compare this to the actual number of casualties (91). The American player “wins” if his total is less. The Somalis “win” if the total is more.

TURN BY TURN The American player draws 8 cards in the first 2 turns because of surprise. The Somali player draws 8 cards on turns 5-14 because of superior numbers. On turns 15+ the American player draws 9 cards because of the arrival of the Armored Column.

SORCERY CHESS WELCOME KNAVE! The premise of sorcery chess is that the king is also a powerful wizard. The rules are that of normal chess plus the following differences. Spell Acquisition & Spell Books At the end of a players turn, that player makes one roll on the Spell Table. The player records the spell on a record sheet called the spell book. Both players may look at each others spell book. 5's the Limit A player can have no more than 5 spells in their spell book. If by the end of the turn the player has acquired more than 5 then that player must cross off (forget) spells of his choice until only 5 are left. Move or Magic On your turn you may move a chess piece normally or cast a spell. Most spell merely modify the way a piece can move. Optional Rule: Magic Chivalry Players cannot check or checkmate on a turn they cast a spell. Skipping If a piece is given the power to skip it can jump over pieces like a king in checkers.

SPACE BASE INTRODUCTIO Players control rival commercial colonies on a small piece of stable crust on a volcanic moon.

EQUIPMEN The map is a 10 x 10 grid. Map spaces must be large enough to hold a card.Two ten sided dice are needed.Each player will need a set of colored control tokens.Paper & pencil to keep tract of Credits.The deck consists of 120 cards

SETU Each player starts with 50 credits.Each player begins with one Outpost card.Players place their Outpost cards in opposite corners, within 2 spaces of the corner space.

TURN SEQUENC Players take Turns. Each Turn is divided into several Phases.When each player has taken a Turn, that is the end of the Round.1. Transfer Phase2. Repair Phase3. Meteor Phase4. Production Phase5. Control Phase6. Draw Phase7. Build Phase

TRANSFER PHAS By playing (discarding) a Transfer card a player may:1. Move a site he controls to any other space adjacent to a site he also controls, or…2. Switch the location of any two site cards he controls.

REPAIR PHAS Repair sites damaged by meteors.Pay 1 credit to remove 1 point of damage.

METEOR PHAS Each turn a meteor hits a random space. (How convenient)Roll two ten sided dice to determine the X and Y axes.If the space contains an installation, it receives 1D10 points of Damage.Damaged sites are considered to be "defunct".Empty spaces and resource spaces are unaffected.Shield generators and installations adjacent to shield generators are unaffected.

PRODUCTION PHAS Some installations produce income (credits).If an installation meets all of its functional requirements, then it is functional and produces income.If an installation cannot meet all of its functional requirements, then it is considered defunct.Defunct sites produce no income.For example, a Spaceport must be adjacent to a Colony, a High tech industry, and a Power source.To be functional, all of the adjacent required sites must also be functional.Installations may meet requirements using adjacent sites controlled by opponents.

1747

CONTROL PHAS By playing (discarding) a Control card a player may:1. Replace the control marker on an opponents site with one of your own markers.The target site must already be adjacent to one of your sites. Or….2. Look at opponents hand and steal one card.

DRAW PHAS Draw one card.If a player has 9 or more cards in his hand he must discard down to 8 cards.

BUILD PHAS A player may place one or more "site" cards onto the map.One site card per space.A site may be placed in an empty space orthogonally adjacent to a site you control.Place one of your control markers onto any site you place.

RESOURCE SITE There are three types: Metals, Radioactives, Ice + Organics.These are called resources or ores.

EXTRACTOR These mine raw materials from all adjacent resource sites, even resources of different types.

OUTPOS Each player starts the game with one of these.Outpost cards are removed from the deck before play.Outposts are power sources.Outposts are also extractors.

REFINERIE These process the raw ores collected from all adjacent extractors, even resources of different types.To be functional these must be adjacent to an extractor, which is adjacent to any resource site.

SOLAR PANEL ARRA These catch solar energy that can power all adjacent installations.

GEOTHERMAL PLAN These catch geothermal energy that can power all adjacent installations.To be functional these must be adjacent to a volcano site.

VOLCAN These are not considered to be resource sites.In build phase these may be placed in any empty space.

1748

REACTOR COR These produce nuclear energy that can power all adjacent installations.To be functional these must be adjacent to a refinery, which is adjacent to an extractor, which isnext to a Radioactives resource site.

FACTOR These are producing manufactured goods.To be functional these must be adjacent to a refinery, which is adjacent to an extractor, which isnext to a Metals resource site.

HYDROPONIC DOM These are producing food, water, and Oxygen.To be functional these must be adjacent to an extractor, which is next to an Ice + Organics resource site.

COLON These contain relatively large populations of enterprising colonists.To be functional these must be adjacent to a hydroponic dome.

TRANSPORT HU All sites adjacent to the hub are also considered to be adjacent to each other.This applies only to people and materials.This system does not transmit power or shielding.

RESEARCH STATIO These are studying the local geology, biology, meteorology, and astronomy.

SHIELD GENERATO The generator and all adjacent sites are immune to meteor hits.

HIGH-TECH INDUSTR These are producing sophisticated electronics, vehicles, computers, robots, etc.To be functional these must be adjacent to a Colony, and a Factory

BIO-MED LAB These are producing new drugs derived from the native life-forms.To be functional these must be adjacent to a Colony, and a Research Station

SPACE PORT Centers of trade and commerce.To be functional these must be adjacent to a Colony, and either a High-Tech Industry or Bio-Med Lab

SPACE BLAST INTRODUCTION Backgammon variant on a circular board with cards and a sci-fi theme. One player is the Terran Defense Force. The other player is the Evil Empire.

OBJECT The first player to occupy all four planet spaces is the winner.

THE BOARD The board is in the shape of a circular track. The circle is divided into 28 spaces also known as sectors. One space represents Planet Earth. (Space #1) The opposite space is Planet X, home of the Evil Empire. (Space #15) Moving clockwise from Earth, Space #8 is the Planet Nimrod. Moving clockwise from Planet X, Space #22 is the Planet Cygnus-7. All other spaces are known as Deep-Space sectors. The deck and the discard pile (the vortex) can be kept in the interior of the circle. Also in the interior there is an area called the scrap heap where destroyed units are kept.

PIECES Each side has 15 pieces or units. Make them using cardboard counters (or chits). Use blue chits for the Terran Defense Force units. Use red chits for the Evil Empire units. Chits should be marked with their force value, a number between 1 and 5.

THE DECK Both players share a common deck. The deck contains 2 of each card on the list.

SETUP Each player starts with 5 cards. Each player puts all 15 of his units on his homeworld.

TURN SEQUENCE Players alternate turns. The player whose turn it is, is known as the attacker, the other player is the defender. The Evil Empire goes first. Each turn has 5 phases: 1. Draw Phase 2. Roll Phase 3. Build Phase 4. Move Phase 5. Fight Phase

1751

DRAW PHASE Draw two cards. If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard and continue. Base maximum hand size = 6. Discard excess cards. Max hand size +1 if you control Nimrod. Max hand size +1 if you control Cygnus-7. Max hand size -2 if you are not in control of your Homeworld.

ROLL PHASE Roll two six sided dice (2D6). Cards can be used to modify these dice rolls.

BUILD PHASE If a player rolls doubles (two sixes, snake-eyes, etc.) he may place one of his destroyedunits back into play onto his homeworld (Earth or Planet X). He may only do this if he currently occupies (controls) his homeworld by having one or more of his units on his homeworld space. The player still uses the die rolls for movement.

MOVE PHASE As in backgammon, move one or two of your units a number of spaces indicated by the dice. Both dice can be assigned to one unit, or each die roll can be assigned to two different units. Die rolls (from roll phase) must be used. Terran units move clockwise. Evil Empire units move counterclockwise. A unit cannot use the second die if, as a result of its first roll, it lands on a space containing enemy units. Cards can be used to modify which units move and by how much. Played cards are discarded. Rolling doubles does not allow you to move four times as in normal backgammon rules.

FIGHT PHASE Each unit has a force value. See the Unit Lists. If a space contains opposing units there will be a fight. Each side adds up the force value of all of its units present to get a force total. The attacker may play attack cards to increase his total. The defender may play defense cards to increase his total. Played cards are discarded. The higher total wins. All units of the loser are destroyed and sent to the scrap heap. The winner keeps units with a total force value equal to the difference between the winning and losing sides force totals. The winner always keeps at least one unit. For example: Winner = 7, loser = 5, difference = 2. The winner may keep units with a total force value of 2 or less, or any one unit, even if it has a force value greater than 2.

Space Cruisers Material by Geo Gibson ([email protected]) Here's that extra stuff I'd done for Space Cruisers. It's mostly been used in solo games, so I can't say it's been extensively playtested :) Some of the modifications have been left out, either because they aren't in any kind of usable form yet or else because they only make sense in scenarios. Extra "Space Cruisers" rules These are the extra rules I've been using for some solo games. I use miniatures on a hexless surface (two sections of posterboard that have a starfield painted on them); each hex is assumed to be 1 inch on the table. Two inches might work better if you have the space. Fighters: Fighters are fielded in squadrons (usually 2-5 fighters); each squadron moves as a unit and rolls one initiative die. Hits are always assigned to any damaged fighters first. Fighters do not have to move between turnings (see below). Movement (additional): Ships cannot usually turn twice; some forward movement must occur in between. A ship may turn twice (without a move in between), but the second facing change costs 2". Fighters ignore this rule. Extra Systems Enhanced Battle computer: allows Critical rolls to be modified by plus or minus one. A ship with an EBC only suffers -2 when targetting a Cloaked Ship. Tractor Beams (all Military ships have one): Range is 3". A ship can use its tractor beam to latch onto another vessel (same size or smaller) to tow it. Towed ships remain within 3" of the other vessel; the towing ship loses 1" of movement while the beam is engaged. Ships with operable drives cannot be towed unwillingly. Stations cannot be towed and fighters cannnot possess tractors. If a second tractor is added, a ship can tow a vessel one size larger at a cost of 1 extra inch of movement (a small vessel with 2 tractors could tow a medium vessel at -2" to its move, or a large vessel if it had three tractors, though it would then be at -3" movement). These usually have a 120 degree rear arc. Self-Destruct Sometimes a Captain will destroy his/her/its own ship rather than allow it to fall into enemy hands (or tentacles, etc.). Self-Destruction is announced during the Cloaking phase and replaces the ship's Movement Phase (on its initiative). Normally, a ship will self-destruct on a 10 or less on a d10 (automatic success). For each Critical it has taken the roll is at a penalty of 2 (so a ship that has taken 3 criticals will only self-destruct on a 4 or less). If the die roll is made, the ship is utterly destroyed. Nearby vessels may take damage as well. This is equal to 1d6 for each two of the following systems the vessel had intact when it exploded: Weapons, Fighter Bays, Drives. This damage is rolled (seperately) against each vessel within 1"; for every further inch the damage drops by a die. A self-destructing fighter does no damage to anyone else, as the explosion is too small. Damage Control Parties All ships and stations (but not fighters) have crew that can attempt to repair ship damage. Each vessel has 1 roll per Size Category (small ships 1, medium ships 2, large ships 3) per turn. This roll is made after the Cloaking Phase and before Initiative. Shields and criticals can be repaired; hull points can be repaired between games. The specific damage that is to be repaired must be declared before the die is rolled (repairs Shields or Drives or Phasers, etc.). Repairs are rolled on 1d6 as follows: for shields 5-6, for Criticals, destroyed drives or weapons systems 6. The following is used for my pseudo-campaign, where a day or two may pass between battles and I want damage to carry over. Assume each Damage Control party not otherwise occupied can repair d3 hull points per day, though never more than half the original hull points of the vessel (without access to a shipyard, repair dock, etc.). Access to a friendly base adds +1 to chances of success and number of hull points repaired. Larger bases (or repair docks, etc.)

1754

probably repair ships faster. Note that since a space station is usually a base, it always gets the +1 bonus.

1755

Space crusiers- Custom Version by [email protected] I added a few systems and possibilities in your critical hits section and wanted to share them with you... here's my version.

SPACE CRUISERS INTRODUCTION Very simple space ship combat.

EQUIPMENT Use a hex map (large hexes) with a starfield background. 10, 20, and 6 sided dice are needed. Ship figures and stands are needed. The Micro-Machine Star Trek line works nicely.

BASIC MILITARY HULL Every military ship has the following basic features: 10 Hull points 1 Phaser 3 Drives 1 Shield

ADDITIONAL SYSTEMS In the Basic rules every ship has 5 additional systems. Roll 5 times on the System table to see which systems a ship has.

SYSTEMS TABLE 1D20 System 1 Phasers (or cargo bay if playing with fighters) 2 Phasers 3 Photon Torpedoes 4-6 Drives 7-9 Shields 10-11 Armor 12 Scanners 13 Security Team 14 Cloaking Device 15 Elite Crew 16 Chain guns 17 Ion shockwave 18 Targeting computers 19 Jump plasma turbine 20 choose your own from above, limitations in systems still valid

SYSTEM NOTES Phasers: Range = 6. Damage = 1D6. Hits on roll of 5+. Phasers can be fired into a 120 degree arc in front of the ship. Photon Torpedoes: Range = 4. Damage = 2D6. Hits on roll of 7+. Torps fire in a straight line. Drives: Each level of drives can be used to move a ship one space forward or make one 60 degree turn per turn.

1756

For each Drive add 1 to the ships initiative roll. Shields: Attacks that do 4 or less points of damage are negated. Attacks that do 5+ damage are negated, but destroy a shield. Armor: Each level of armor gives the ship 10 more hull points. Scanners: Each scanner gives one attack per turn +1 to hit. Security Teams: Each security team can attack one adjacent uncloaked ship per turn that has no shields. Roll 1D6. On a roll of 1-2 the team is destroyed. On a roll of 5-6 the target ship is destroyed. Cloaking Device: A ship may decide to cloak for the turn. Cloaked ships cannot attack. Cloaked ships are -3 to be hit. A ship will only ever have 1 Cloaking Device. Reroll duplicate rolls. Elite Crew: For each elite crew add 1 to the ships initiative roll. Each elite crew allows the ship to attempt to evade 1 attack per turn. The target attack is evaded on a roll of 1-3 on 1D6. Chain guns: may fire twice at a range of one hex or less. 7 or better hit each shot 1d6 damage each. 120 degree Ion shockwave: range one hex, 360 degree arch blast count one hex circle. Disable each ship 1d6 on a six for the rest of this turn and next turn. that damaged ship may not move or fire. Missiles: range 3 or less. 2d6 damage 360 degree field of fire. roll 7+ Target computer: +1 from each weapons to damage. reroll duplicate rolls Jump Plasma Turbine: 1 use, may move 5 hex. Roll 1d6=6 critical hit self

SETUP Each side should have an equal number of figures. Or each side should have an equal number of construction points if using the advanced rules.

TURN SEQUENCE Each turn has 4 phases: 1 Cloak Phase 2 Initiative Phase 3 Move Phase 4 Attack Phase

CLOAK PHASE Ships with cloaking devices may cloak.

INITIATIVE PHASE Each ship rolls 1D10. This is the ships initiative number.

MOVE PHASE The ship with the lowest initiative moves first. The next lowest moves next and so on. Reroll tied initiatives. Only 1 ship per hex.

ATTACK PHASE The ship with the highest initiative attacks first The next highest attacks next and so on. For each attack roll 1D10. This is the To hit roll.

1757

Phasers hit on a roll of 5 or more. Torpedoes and Missles hit on a roll of 7 or more. Scanners & cloaking modify the To hit roll. Security teams may also attack. If an attack hits, a ship may try to evade if it has an elite crew. Security teams may be evaded. If an attack hits, and it is not evaded, roll for damage. Shields will absorb damage. Too much and the shields blow (are destroyed). If the ship has no shields, each point of damage destroys one hull point. If a ship has negative hull points, every phaser hit it takes requires 1 roll on the Critical Damage Table. Torpedo + missile hits require 2 rolls.

CRITICAL DAMAGE TABLE 1D10 Effect 1 1 Weapon system destroyed (reroll if none left) 2 1 Drive destroyed (reroll if none left) 3 Warp Core 4 Life Support 5 Super Structure 6 Targeting Computer hit all weapons fire at negative one. 7 maneuvering thruster damage may choose a turn OR fly straight a turn 8 weapons internal damage -1 damage and -1 range all weapons 9 malfunctions roll 1d6 before each movement/weapon fire on a 6 fail. 10 laugh it off it only took out the ships restroom! If the Warp Core is hit twice the ship explodes. If Life Support is hit twice the entire crew is killed. If the Super Structure is hit twice the ship breaks apart.

BASIC RULES SAMPLE SHIPS Ship Name: 5 Additional systems The Courageous: Shields, Torps, Security, Drives x2 The Victorious: Scanners, Armor x2, Shield, Elite Crew The Noblesse: Elite Crew, Shield, Torps, Drives, Scanners The Atlantea: Phasers, Drives, Shields x2, Cloak

Corvettes, escorts, gunships, raiders Medium Ships have 4-6 additional systems. Destroyers, frigates, cruisers Large ships have 7-10+ additional systems. Battle Ships, capitol ships, dreadnaughts, carriers

BASIC COMMERCIAL HULL The basic commercial hull is worth 2 construction points. 10 Hull points 2 Drives 3 Non military systems Non military systems include: Cargo bays, Science Labs, Mining equipment, Passenger accommodations, etc.

SPACE STATION HULLS 1758

The basic Space station hull is worth 2 construction points. Space stations have no drives 20 Hull points 4 Non military systems. All weapons mounted on Space stations fire out of any arc.

FIGHTER HULLS The basic fighter hull costs 2 construction points. They have 1 hull point. Any roll on the critical damage table will destroy them. They have 5 drives, 1 phaser, 1 elite crew Up to 5 fighters can be carried by a ship for every cargo bay the ship has. Fighters can have a maximum of 3 additional systems

EQUIPMENT Use a hex map (large hexes) with a starfield background. 10 and 6 sided dice are needed. Ship figures and stands are needed. The Micro-Machine Star Trek line works nicely.

BASIC MILITARY HULL Every military ship has the following basic features: 10 Hull points 1 Phaser 3 Drives 1 Shield

ADDITIONAL SYSTEMS In the Basic rules every ship has 5 additional systems. Roll 5 times on the System table to see which systems a ship has.

SYSTEMS TABLE 1D10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0

System Phasers (or cargo bay if playing with fighters) Phasers Photon Torpedoes Drives Shields Armor Scanners Security Team Cloaking Device Elite Crew

SYSTEM NOTES Phasers: Range = 6. Damage = 1D6. Hits on roll of 5+. Phasers can be fired into a 120 degree arc in front of the ship. Photon Torpedoes: Range = 4. Damage = 2D6. Hits on roll of 7+. Torps fire in a straight line. Drives: Each level of drives can be used to move a ship one space forward or make one 60 degree turn per turn. For each Drive add 1 to the ships initiative roll. Shields: Attacks that do 4 or less points of damage are negated. Attacks that do 5+ damage are negated, but destroy a shield. Armor: Each level of armor gives the ship 10 more hull points. Scanners: Each scanner gives one attack per turn +1 to hit. Security Teams: Each security team can attack one adjacent uncloaked ship per turn that has no shields. Roll 1D6. On a roll of 1-2 the team is destroyed.

1760

On a roll of 5-6 the target ship is destroyed. Cloaking Device: A ship may decide to cloak for the turn. Cloaked ships cannot attack. Cloaked ships are -3 to be hit. A ship will only ever have 1 Cloaking Device. Reroll duplicate rolls. Elite Crew: For each elite crew add 1 to the ships initiative roll. Each elite crew allows the ship to attempt to evade 1 attack per turn. The target attack is evaded on a roll of 1-3 on 1D6.

SETUP Each side should have an equal number of figures. Or each side should have an equal number of constuction points if using the advanced rules.

TURN SEQUENCE Each turn has 4 phases: 1 Cloak Phase 2 Initiative Phase 3 Move Phase 4 Attack Phase

CLOAK PHASE Ships with cloaking devices may cloak.

INITIATIVE PHASE Each ship rolls 1D10. This is the ships initiative number.

MOVE PHASE The ship with the lowest initiative moves first. The next lowest moves next and so on. Reroll tied initiatives. Only 1 ship per hex.

ATTACK PHASE The ship with the highest initiative attacks first The next highest attacks next and so on. For each attack roll 1D10. This is the To hit roll. Phasers hit on a roll of 5 or more. Torps hit on a roll of 7 or more. Scanners & cloaking modify the To hit roll. Security teams may also attack. If an attack hits, a ship may try to evade if it has an elite crew. Security teams may be evaded. If an attack hits, and it is not evaded, roll for damage. Shields will absorb damage. Too much and the shields blow (are destroyed). If the ship has no shields, each point of damage destroys one hull point. If a ship has negative hull points, every phaser hit it takes requires 1 roll on the Critical Damage Table. Torp hits require 2 rolls.

CRITICAL DAMAGE TABLE 1761

1D10 Effect 1-2 1 Weapon system destroyed (reroll if none left) 3-4 1 Drive destroyed (reroll if none left) 5-6 Warp Core 7-8 Life Support 9-0 Super Structure If the Warp Core is hit twice the ship explodes. If Life Support is hit twice the entire crew is killed. If the Super Structure is hit twice the ship breaks apart.

They can be aimed at targets in a 60 degree arc extending from the front of the fighter. Rockets launched from the same pod in the same turn must be aimed at the same target. Place the rockets in the same hex as the target.

7. GUN DECLARATION PHASE Guns in standard fixed mounts may fire at targets in a 60 degree arc extending from the front of the fighter. Fixed Guns may also fire at targets in the same hex that were in the hex from a previous turn or that entered the hex this turn from one of the 3 hexes the fighter is facing. Guns in turrets may fire in any direction. Guns may be aimed at fighters, missles, or rockets.

MAP Draw 10 Planets indicated by circles. Devise names for all the planets. Make each circle large enough to hold a dozen or more chits. The terms: Planet, World, and System are interchangeable.

SETUP Each player starts with a base on one loyal world and 7 random Unit chits in his reserve pile. All other worlds are neutral.

VICTORY All Worlds loyal to your side at the end of the turn, or Elimination of all of your opponents units from the board.

TYPES: PP = Public Personality Unit; EP= Espionage Personality; M = Military Unit; MI = Military Installation

TURN SEQUENCE 1-Recruit Phase 2-Blockade Phase 3-Surveillance Phase

1773

4-Movement Phase 5-Action Phase

COUNTERS Each player needs a set of 10 "Loyal World" counters of a color unique to that player. Each player needs a set of 30 blank "Identification" counters of a color unique to that player. Identify your units by placing your Identintification counters under them.

RECRUIT PILE Chit Mix: Make 10 of each unit type. Force Fields & Ion guns only 5 each. Include 1 or 2 each of each of the special chits. When making chits write the name of the unit and an identification number #1-10.

RECRUIT PHASE Draw 1 chit from the recruit pile per successful recruit attempt by Loyal Planet and Governor (on a loyal planet) you control. Only 1 governor per planet gets this benefit. If the planet is blockaded by enemy Star Cruisers the ability of Loyal Planets and Governors becomes Recruit-3. Worlds disrupted by bombardment cannot recruit. Governors on worlds disrupted by bombardment cannot recruit. Recruited chits go into your reserve pile. Neutral worlds and worlds with uprisings do not recruit chits. You can have a maximum of 7 chits in your reserve before you must discard back to the recruit pile.

BLOCKADE PHASE Star cruisers may declare they are blockading the world they currently orbit.

SURVEILLANCE PHASE Non-wounded Agents have two different actions they may take: 1. Observe-2 an opponents reserve pile. Observe-2 means that the observation succeedes on a roll of 1-2 on D6. 2. Observe-2 an enemy unit. If successful, The controlling player must declare that units' movement orders immediately. The agent gets observe-4 if he is in the same system as the unit.

MOVEMENT PHASE All players write down movement orders for all of their units. A unit can move to any world on the map from any other world. Blockading Cruisers may not move. Players reveal their orders. Example Order: Move Agent#3 to Cassiopia. Players move their units. All movement is considered simultaneous. Rebels, Ion Cannons, Shields, and Bases do not move (Rebel Leaders may move). Troops can only move if a Star cruiser transports them. Example Order: Move Star cruiser #1 and Troops#2 to planet Jungla. Units not given written orders do not move. Smugglers rule: Every enemy personality trying to get on or off a blockaded world must roll D6: On a roll of 1-2 they are destroyed. Disrupted & wounded units may move.

1774

ACTION PHASE Wounded Personalities can take no other action except heal Disrupted units, installations, and worlds can take no other action except repair. Conduct all the actions on one planet before moving to the next. Go in Alphabetical order by planet. Players with units on the World take turns. In a turn, one unit takes one action. The Player with more units in the System goes first. Blockading Cruisers may not do any further actions. Worlds disrupted by bombardment cannot deploy. Units on worlds disrupted by bombardment cannot deploy. Governors may only deploy on loyal Worlds. A unit may only attempt to control a world if no enemy troops are present. An agent that acted in surveillance phase may not act in this phase. Wounded/disrupted units that are wounded/disrupted again are eliminated.

DETERMINING ACTION SUCCESS All actions are written in the form: Action-X For example: Sabotage-3 This means the sabotage action is successful on a roll of 1-3 on D6. Sabotage-4 means the sabotage action is successful on a roll of 1-4 on D6

EXPLANATIONS OF UNIT ACTIONS Actions can only be taken against units in the same system. A unit may only undertake one of the following actions if the action is listed in the units description.

SPACE STATION ALPHA

INTRODUCTION Bidding & Placement Game. Each player represents a space agency: NASA, European Union, Russia, Japan, etc. Players are working together to build the ISS (International Space Station). Players add Modules and score points.

OBJECTIVE The game ends at the end of the turn when all 60 modules have been placed. The player with the most victory points at the end of the game wins.

THE BOARD Use a Chessboard. The center 4 spaces of the board represent the Core Command & Control Module. The Core Module is a self supporting active vehicle with the following capabilities: Propulsive control, Piloting station, Main Engine, Gyrostabilizers, Fuel storage, Assembly area, Operational quarters, Multiple module docking ports, Life support Monitoring systems, Environmental controls (Energy, Electrical, Temperature, Atmosphere)

PLAYER MARKERS Each player has a set of 40 blank counters (markers) of a unique color

MODULE COUNTERS Players share a Build pile (cup) of 60 cardboard counters representing Space Station Modules. The Build pile contains 4 of each of the 15 types of modules in the list.

THE EVENT DECK Players share a common deck.

1795

SETUP Each player starts with a hand of 6 randomly dealt cards.

TURN SEQUENCE Each turn is divided into 5 phases: Planning Phase Bidding Phase Deployment Phase Scoring Phase Event Phase

PLANING PHASE Take X random Module counters out of the pile and place them to the side of the board face up. X = number of players. If there are modules remaining from previous turns, only enough New Modules are drawn to have X Modules up for bidding.

BIDDING PHASE Players bid on the Module counters using Funding Cards from the event deck. Bids are made secretly, and then simultaneously revealed. Note the funding cards have different values. In case of ties, players cut the deck, the highest funding value revealed wins. If you lose a bid put your funding card(s) for that bid back in your hand. If a Module receives no bids, it remains to be bid on next turn. The winner of a Bid (highest bid) gets to deploy that module next phase.

DEPLOYMENT PHASE Place the modules you won last phase into play (0, 1 or more modules). A module can be placed on any space on the board adjacent to another module (or Core). Place a marker (of your color) next to the module to show your ownership of the module. Maximum of one Module per space. The player who bid the most Funding last turn deploys first, followed by the next most, and so on.

SCORING PHASE Gain one VP (Victory Point) for every Module you place. If you place 4 or more of your own modules in a row (orthogonal or diagonal), gain 3 VP. Gain 1 additional VP for each of your Modules in a row in excess of 4 modules. Play event cards that allow for additional special scoring. Owners of Truss Exterior Frameworks gain 1 VP every time a module is built (O or D) adjacent to it. Owners of External Stowage Platforms gain 1 VP every time a problem is played.

EVENT PHASE Each player draws 3 cards from the Event Deck. Max hand size = 10 cards. Discard excess cards. If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it.

SPACEHOLE INTRODUCTION Solo Dice & Card game. The player must defend and build up his Space colony.

SPACE JUNK Six sided dice are needed. Tokens to indicate damage and power are needed. Pen & paper to record Megacredit totals are needed.

THE DECK The deck has 4 types of cards mixed in: Events, Invaders, Defenders, and Structures.

BASE You start with your base card in play. The Base has the following attributes: It can take 10 hits of Damage before being destroyed. It has a built in laser turret: It attacks with one die every battle turn. It generates 5 power points every turn. A Base allows you to have two defenders.

SETUP You start with your base, zero Megacredits, and no cards.

END OF GAME The game ends at the end of the turn when the last card has been drawn from the deck. If your base is ever destroyed the game ends immediately and you lose with a score = 0.

SCORING Your score is equal to your Megacredit total at the end of the game.

TURN SEQUENCE Each turn has 5 Phases: 1. Space Karma Phase 2. Event Phase 3. Build Phase 4. Power Phase 5. Income Phase

1799

SPACE KARMA PHASE Draw 1 card. If it is an Invasion or Event card it is resolved in Event Phase. Otherwise, keep it in your hand. Max hand size is 5 cards. Discard excess cards.

EVENT PHASE An Invasion or Event card drawn last phase is resolved now. For Event cards just follow the instructions on the card. Discard the Event card after it is resolved. For Invasion cards are resolved through Battle Rounds. In a Battle Round the Invader attacks, and your Defenders & Laser Turrets attack once each. Roll 1D6 for every level of Force an Invader or Defender has. A roll of 1 will do one point of damage to the opposing side. Use counters placed on the cards to record damage. Each damage counter so placed reduces the cards Force by one point. An Invader or Defender card reduced to 0 Force is destroyed. Destroyed cards are discarded. When the invaders inflict damage a random defender card will be hit first. If there are no defender cards, Force domes will be attacked next. Force Domes can take 3 Hits before being destroyed. If all force domes are destroyed, Laser Turrets (Force = 1) are next. If all Laser Turrets are destroyed, then the Base card will be attacked next. The Base card can take 5 hits and it has a built in Laser turret that can make a one die attack every round.

BUILD PHASE You may play one Structure card or one Defender card from your hand. The played card is placed face-up on the table in front of you. Note: You cannot have more Defender cards than your structure cards allow. Excess are discarded. You cannot play a structure if you can’t provide it a power token this turn in power phase. If you did not play a card you may remove all the damage tokens on one of your cards.

POWER PHASE Your Base and Solar Array cards generate power points. Other Structure cards use up Power Points. Some structures also need the presence of other structures to be maintained. For example: Each Colony requires one power point plus the food output of one Agrodome. Note: One Agrodome could not support 2 Colonies. Place a Power Token on every structure that is able to meet all of its upkeep demands.

INCOME PHASE Some structures generate income. If such a structure has a power token on it then it is able to generate all of its income this turn. Otherwise it generates no income. Record all income generated from all structures. At the end of this phase discard all Power tokens.

SETUP Each player places 1 man on each square of his back row. Men may not stack.

THE CARDS Players share a common deck.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 3 phases: Orders Phase Move Phase Fight Phase

ORDERS PHASE Draw 3 cards from your deck. If your deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it. Max hand size = 5 cards. Discard excess cards.

MOVE PHASE Play (discard) a Move card to move one of your men. The move card has a number. This is the number of spaces the man moves. Moves can be diagonal or orthogonal. Instead of moving just one unit in any direction, you have the option of moving one or more units forward the indicated number of spaces using a single move card.

FIGHT PHASE Play (discard) an Attack card to have a Man attack. The attack card has a number. This is the range of the attack. Attacks can be diagonal or orthogonal. The enemy man that is the target of the attack takes one point of damage. Use chits to keep track of damage. A man reduced to zero hits is killed. Your opponent may play a defense card to negate your attack. If you use a Shield defense against a Lasgun, both target & attacker are killed. The Fremen player treats the Lasgun card as: Crysknife (Attack range = 1)

SPIDER-MAN INTRODUCTION 2 player card game. One player is Spiderman (Spidey). The other player is the Bad Guys.

THE DECKS There are 2 decks: The Bad Guy Deck & The Spiderman Deck. The Bad Guy deck has 5 of each of the cards listed in the Bad Guy Card List & Bad Guy Attack Card List. The Spidey deck has 5 of each of the cards listed in the Spiderman Card List & Spiderman Attack Card List.

OBJECTIVE Get all 50 plot Tokens.

SETUP Each player gets 25 plot tokens.

TURN SEQUENCE Players go simultaneously. Each turn is divided into 7 phases: 1. Plot Phase 2. Encounter Phase 3. Plot Thickens Phase 4. Maneuver Phase 5. Climax Phase 6. Attack Phase 7. Resolution Phase

PLOT PHASE Each Player must put 2 Tokens in the pot (now referred to as the PLOT)

ENCOUNTER PHASE Each player draws 7 cards from his deck. If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it.

PLOT THICKENS PHASE Starting with the Bad guys, each player may up Ante by up to 5 plot tokens. A Player may fold and concede the PLOT to his opponent.

MANEUVER PHASE 1825

Players can discard up to 5 cards and draw replacement cards.

CLIMAX PHASE Starting with the Spiderman, each player may up the Ante by up to 5 plot tokens. A Player may fold and concede the PLOT to his opponent.

ATTACK PHASE Players reveal their hands. Calculate the value of each hand. For the Bad Guys: Multiply the number of cards of a particular Bad Guy x The number of his attack cards. For Example: You have 2 Mysterio cards & 3 Energy Globes in your hand. This would score 2 x 3 = 6. Lets say the other 2 cards in his hand are Vulture and Lightning Blast. No points are gained for either card. However, If the other two cards were Vulture and Swoop Attack that would be worth 1 x 1 = 1 point andThe total score would be 6 + 1 = 7 For Spidey: Attack and defense cards that you only have one copy of do not count. Multiply the number of attack cards times the number of defense cards. For Example: You have 3 Jumps and 2 Punches and 1 Swing and 1 Tangle. The Tangle and the Swing cards do not count. Multiply 3 x 2 to get your final hand value: 2 x 3 = 6.

RESOLUTION PHASE Compare the point totals of the hands. The winner gets the PLOT. If tied, the PLOT carries over to the next hand.

SQUAD INTRODUCTION Card game. Simulates small unit tactics in World War II.

LOGISTICS Use tokens to represent soldiers. At least two six-sided dice are required. A deck of cards unique to this game will have to be constructed before play is possible.

SETUP Each player starts with one squad of one of the five available nationalities. American squads start with 12 men. German, British, and Japanese squads start with 10 men. Russian platoons start with 36 men. Opposing squads begin the game at long range from each other. Players take turns. Roll high to determine who goes first. Shuffle the deck. Players start with 5 cards each. Each player may play one terrain card, if they have one in their hand.

ALL FIRE PHASES Range in this game is the relative range between the two squads. Play attack cards that correspond to the relative range between the squads. For instance if you are at long range, you may attack with a mortar, but not a pistol. Attack Cards are type (A) in the card list. Each attack lists what ranges it can be used at: PB (Point Blank), S (Short), M (Medium), and L (Long) You must play an Attack card to attack. Each attack card kills 1D6 - 1D6 enemy soldiers. (The attack roll) Roll two dice, subtract the second from the first. A result of zero or a negative number means there are no casualties. The attack roll is modified by many cards, as expressed in the card list. Terrain cards (T) subtract their cover rating to the attack roll total. For example: A Hedge Row would reduce 5 kills to 3 kills. Attack cards have built in modifiers. For example: A pistol(PB/S-1) inflicts one less casualty at short range. If your attack causes casualties, you may play a Commander Killed card. Japanese squads may make one PB attack at short range instead, per turn.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 9 phases: 1. Draw Phase 2. Morale Phase 3. Covering Fire Phase 4. Opportunity Fire Phase 5. Movement Phase 6. Position Fire Phase 7. Return Fire Phase 8. Rally Phase 9. Discard Phase

1828

DRAW PHASE German Squads draw four Russian Squads draw two Other Squads draw three If you use up the deck,

cards from the common cards from the common cards from the common reshuffle the discard

deck. deck. deck. pile and continue playing.

MORALE PHASE If your squad was fired upon last turn roll 1D6: 1D6 Result: 1-4 Nothing 5-6 Squad Pinned This roll is called the morale check. American Squads get +1 to this roll. Japanese Squads get -1 to this roll. Add 1 to the roll per man killed last turn. A pinned squad cannot move and its attack rolls are at -1. If the squad was already pinned, it routs: A squad that routs loses 1D6 - 1D6 men. (Roll 1D6 and subtract 1D6) Routed men are considered to be casualties. Men that did not rout are still pinned. Cards that modify the Morale check are played before the roll is made. Pinned units remain pinned until rallied.

COVERING FIRE PHASE Declare whether or not your squad is going to attempt to move this turn. If you are going to move your squad this turn you may first attack with covering fire. (All attacks require the discard of 1+ Attack cards at the appropriate range.) Your attacks are at -2, because you are moving and firing. American squads only have no penalty because they are equipped with semi-automatic M-1 rifles instead of bolt action rifles. You may also play a smoke card. If you play smoke your attacks are at an additional -2. Declare if you are taking the Point man option.

OPPORTUNITY FIRE PHASE If you are moving this turn your opponent may attack in this phase. Range is the same as last turn. If you provided covering fire, your opponents attacks are at -1. If you play smoke your opponents attacks are at an additional -2. Your opponent may play an Ambush card to attack at +2. If you took any casualties this phase, and you took the Point man option, you take only one casualty, and you skip movement phase.

MOVEMENT PHASE To move your squad, play a terrain card. This replaces your old terrain card, which is discarded. You may also change the range by one step.

PB -- S -- M -- L Changing the range is not required. The move may be lateral. Instead of playing a terrain card you may discard any card to move into an open terrain. Open terrain provides no cover modifier.

1829

Your opponent may abort your move by playing a Blocking (B) card. Minefields and Barbed Wire Card are (B) cards. If a blocking card is played you must discard the new terrain card. Your squad returns to the old terrain. A minefield will kill 1D6 - 1D6+2 men. A Combat Engineer card will negate a (B) card, allowing the squad to move. If you are unblocked you may play a Mission Objective and/or Concealment card.

POSITION FIRE PHASE You may attack. Your attacks are at -1 if you moved this turn. If you did not move and your opponent outflanked you last turn your attacks are at -1. Heavy weapons like mortars and machine guns may not be used to attack if you moved this turn. If you moved this turn and your opponent did not attack in opportunity phase, you have outflanked the enemy and get +1 to all your attacks this phase.

RETURN FIRE PHASE Your opponent may attack.

RALLY PHASE If a squad is pinned this turn roll 1D6: 1D6 Result: 1-4 Squad remains pinned 5-6 Squad is rallied (becomes unpinned) This roll is called the Rally roll. Cards that modify the Rally roll are played before the roll is made. Americans & German Squads get +1 to this roll.

DISCARD PHASE If you did not move or attack this turn you may draw an extra card. If you have more than 5 cards in your hand discard the extra cards. Well trained German troops may keep 6 cards. Poorly trained Russian units may only keep 4 cards.

MORE CARDS! Another set, this one by Janne Thorne Zip File: Click Here Click here to go to his Site Thoth version: Click Here

FLANKING VARIANT by Christian Martinez (at [email protected]) Flanking Fire : this rule replaces the one existing about "Flanking Fire" and "Encircled". In the deck replace the two Encircled cards with two more Flanking Fire cards. After you have (successfully) played a terrain card without changing the range (laterally), you can play a Flanking Fire card. That card stays in play. These cards are cumulative : if you move again laterally and play another FF card, all stay in play (=enciclement) and add their bonus. If you move and do not play a FF card, all FF cards you have played are discarded. If your opponent (successfully) moves, all FF cards you have played are discarded.

MAP VARIANT Use a hex map. Remove the Terrain cards from the deck. Draw the terrain types onto the map before play. Terrain types include those described on the cards plus clear or open terrain. A squad is represented by a pawn on the map. In move phase you can move your squad 2 hexes in open terrain or 1 hex if Entering a non-open terrain type. Point Blank Range = 1 hex distance.

1832

S = 2 hexes, M = 3 hexes, L = 4 hexes This variant would allow each player to have more than 1 squad. Each squad requires its own hand of cards.

1833

STAKK CHESS OBJECTIVE Capture opponents King.

SETUP Use a normal chessboard. Each side has 1 King and 31 flat pawns. Stack your pawns in your back 2 rows as follows: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 4 2 3 5 K 3 2 4 Pawns must be flat and stackable. Use checker pieces for pawns.

RULES Players take turns moving. On your turn move your King, one pawn, or one stack. Moving onto an opponents stack or pawn captures all of those pawns. A pawn or stack may move onto a friendly pawn or stack forming a bigger stack. One or more pawns may be moved off a stack into the same space adjacent to the stack. At least one pawn must remain from the original stack. Pawns moved this way may not capture or checkmate. A stack may be up to 5 pawns high. Pawns & Kings move as in normal chess. A stack of 2 may move as a knight. You may only have two knights at a time. A stack of 3 may move as a bishop. You may only have two bishops at a time. A stack of 4 may move as a rook. You may only have two rooks at a time. A stack of 5 may move as a queen. You may only have one queen at a time. Single pawns that reach the back row may move laterally on the back row one space. They may not capture.

STAR CRAFT SPAWN INTRODUCTION Two player card game set in the StarCraft universe.

DISCLAIMER StarCraft is a licensed, copyrighted product. This is merely a fansite.

DECKS Each player gets one unique deck. For example: Terran Deck vs Zerg Deck.

RANDOMIZERS Six sided dice are needed to play. Tokens to record damage are also needed.

OBJECTIVE Destroy your opponents Command Structure.

SETUP Every player starts with a hand of 5 cards. Every player starts with their Command Structure in play. Roll high on 1D6 to see who goes first.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 4 phases: Logistics Phase Deploy Phase Attack Phase End Phase

LOGISTICS PHASE Draw 3 Cards. If your deck runs out, you may shuffle your discard and draw from it. You may discard 2 cards from your hand to draw 1 card.

DEPLOY PHASE You may play (deploy) any 3 cards from your hand. Deployed cards are placed face up onto the table in front of you. Deployed cards stay in play until destroyed. Some of your deployed cards may allow you to deploy additional cards.

1839

Instead of deploying a card, you may issue a Repair Order. A Repair Order removes 1D3 damage counters from your units. Instead of deploying a card, you may draw a card from the top of the deck. Instead of deploying a card, you may put the top card of the discard pile into your hand. Instead of deploying a card, you may issue a Battle Plan Order. A battle Plan Order gives all of your units a +1 to either Move, Force, Range, or Armor. Instead of deploying a card, you may issue a Scout Order. A Scout Order lets you look at your opponents hand.

ATTACK PHASE All of your units with a move greater than zero may attack. Attack with one unit at a time. The target of the attack must be an Infantry unit, Hero, Vehicle, Starcraft, or Building. Units with Stealth cannot be Targeted. The defender may block the attack with another unit if the blocker has a larger Move rating Or Range score than the attacking unit. The blocking unit becomes the target of the attack. Units with Stealth cannot be blocked except by special units. Compare the Range score of the Attacking unit & Defending Target. The Higher Range score attacks first. A unit with Stealth always attacks first regardless of Range. When attacking roll a number of D6 equal to your Force Score. Every roll of 1-3 on 1D6 causes a Damage Token to be placed on the opposing unit. If the number of Damage Tokens equals or exceeds the units Armor rating it is destroyed. Damage tokens remain until repaired. Destroyed units are discarded.

END PHASE Max hand size = 6. Discard excess cards. All Zerg units automatically (regenerate) remove 1 Damage Counter.

EVENT CARDS Have a variety of uses, and are played when appropriate. They are discarded after they take affect.

STAR FIEFS INTRODUCTION Card game version of Emporex. Opposing Noble Houses vie for domination in this quadrant of space.

SETUP Determine turn order by coin flips. Shuffle the common deck. Each Player starts with one Homeworld card and 1 Leader Card. Each player starts with 4 Power tokens. Each player draws a hand of 8 cards. Homeworlds and Leaders not used, are removed from play.

VICTORY Players who lose their Homeworld are eliminated. A player may win by eliminating all of his opponents or… The first player to accumulate 8 Power Tokens is the winner and becomes the Governor of the Sector.

TURN SEQUENCE Players alternate turns. The player whose turn it is, is called the active player. A turn consists of the following 8 phases: 1. Draw Phase 2. Intrigue Phase 3. Duel Phase 4. Event Phase 5. Attack Phase 6. Production Phase 7. Recruit Phase 8. Discard Phase

DRAW PHASE Draw 1 card. You may pay 10 Ecos to draw another card. If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard pile, and continue play.

INTRIGUE PHASE Leaders are considered to be personas. You may put a card with the Seduction, or Intrigue trait back in your hand to spy: Look at opponents hand. You may put a card with the Psychic trait back in your hand to look at opponents hand and next card in deck. You may put a card with the Sabotage trait back in your hand: Target opponent must discard 1 random card from his hand. If the discarded card is a psypower or event the saboteur is discarded also. You may put a card with the Seduction trait back in your hand: Target opponent's male persona is put back in his owner's hand. That male persona is immune to this effect for the rest of the game.

1844

You may put a card with the Assassination trait back in your hand: Discard the top card of the deck: If it is a psypower or event the saboteur is discarded. If it is a Persona, than a target opponent's persona in play is killed (discarded). If it is any other type of card than nothing happens. A player may only make one Assassination attempt per turn. A player may discard a persona card from play or his hand to negate a successful assassination.

EVENT PHASE Certain Events and psypowers may be played during this phase. You may play a psypower card if one of your cards already in play has the trait of psychic. Discard these cards as soon as they are used.

DUEL PHASE If you have a Duelist in play, he may duel an opponent's duelist that is also in play. A Leader may only duel if there are no other duelists on his side. Each player in turn discards the top card of the deck: The military value of the discarded card is that duelist's attack value. Some duelists have a dueling value on the persona's card. This adds to their attack value The duelist with the highest attack value wins. Certain event and psypower cards may be played to modify these values. If the cards are tied, then discard again. The losing duelist is killed (discarded). A player may initiate a maximum of one duel per turn.

ATTACK PHASE The active player is the attacker. The active player may choose not to attack or to attack one target opponent player. Attacker chooses attack mode: Military (M) or Political (P) A card with the transport trait may be played to initiate an extra attack phase that is a military attack. The card is part of the attack. A card with the intrigue trait may be played to initiate an extra attack phase that is a political attack. The card is part of the attack.

MILITARY ATTACKS The attacker must target a world controlled by his opponent. Both players may commit cards he has in play to the battle. Cards committed may include Leaders, Personas, and Armies. The attacker must pay 1 Eco per such cards he commits. The defender must commit the attacked world. Defender cards can only be used by the defender. A player may play a psypower card if one of his deployed cards has the trait of psychic. Events may be played if applicable. In a multiplayer game, other players may play cards in support of the attacker or the defender at their invitation. Starting with the attacker, cards are committed until neither player wants to commit any more cards. The winner is the player with the highest total military value. Only cards in play (not discarded) count towards the total values. In case of a tie the defender wins. If the Attacker wins he puts the target planet into his hand. If the Defender wins, he remains in control of the world.

1845

The loser must discard one committed Army card. Other cards remain in play.

POLITICAL ATTACKS The attacker must target one of his opponents. Both players may commit cards he has in play to the struggle. Cards committed may include any card with a Political value. A player may play a psypower card if one of his deployed cards has the trait of psychic. Events may be played if applicable. In a multiplayer game, other players may play cards in support of the attacker or the defender at their invitation. Starting with the attacker, cards are committed until neither player wants to commit any more cards. The winner is the player with the highest total political value. Only cards in play (not discarded) count towards the total values. In case of a tie the defender wins. The loser must place one of his non-homeworld committed cards back into his hand. If the Attacker wins he gains control of one of his opponents Political power tokens.

PRODUCTION PHASE The basic monetary unit is the Eco. Use coins to represent Ecos. (1 penny = 1 Eco) Gain a number of Ecos equal to the Economic value of all of your cards in play.

RECRUIT PHASE Put Armies, Personas, Worlds and Organizations into play. A card costs a number of Ecos equal to 1 + its combined Military, Political, and Economic value.

DISCARD PHASE Pay 1 Eco for each army you control or place that army back in your hand. Maximum hand size is 10 cards. Discard excess cards.

STAR FLEETS

INTRODUCTION Card game for two players. Battle between opposing fleets in the Star Trek Universe.

THE DECKS Each player gets one unique deck.

DOWNLOAD CARDSET Thanks Zak. This set is awesome! Goto Zaks Site

CARDS Types of cards include: Ships, Personnel, Control, and Combat cards.

FLEET TOTAL Each player starts with a Fleet Total of 100 points.

VICTORY You win if you reduce your opponents Fleet Total to zero points.

SHIPS All ships are designated as Small, Medium, Large, or Fighters. All ships have an Attack Score and a Defense Score. Shield cards played with large ships get Defense +2

1850

Shield cards played with small ships get Defense -1 Shield cards played with fighters get Defense -2 Evasion cards played with large ships get Defense -1 Evasion cards played with small ships get Defense +3 Evasion cards played with fighters get Defense +4 Ships with Initiative get to attack first in Combat. Ships with Command give Initiative to any one ship every turn.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 4 phases: Warp Phase Deployment Phase Control Phase Combat Phase

WARP PHASE Both players Draw 5 cards. If your deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it.

DEPLOYMENT PHASE Put all Ships you draw into play (face up in front of you). Place Personnel Cards into play onto Ships just deployed. A ship may have a maximum of 1 Captain, 1 Officers, and 1 Crew.

CONTROL PHASE Ships with Detect allow you to look at your opponent’s hand. If the hand contains Cloak cards you may discard one. Discard all Control cards played at the end of this phase.

COMBAT PHASE Declare a target for each of your ships. A target can be any opposing ship or the opponents Fleet. If the defender has any ships not being attacked, those ships may block any attacker they like. A ship does damage equal to its Attack rating. Every ship has a Attack & Defense rating. Attached Personnel add to these ratings. Players may play Combat cards onto their ships to increase the Ship’s Force & Defense ratings. If the Attack total is greater than the target ships Defense Rating, the target is destroyed. The Attacking & Target ships simultaneously do damage to each other. Ships with “Initiative” get to apply their attack first. If a ship is attacked by two or more ships, it applies its Attack rating to them in any combination it likes to the attackers. If a ship is attacked by two or more ships, the attackers combine their Attack ratings but not their Defense ratings. If the Fleet is attacked and the attacker is unblocked, subtract a number of Points from the Fleet Total equal to the Force of the attacking ship. Discard all Combat cards played at the end of this phase. If a ship is destroyed, all of its fighters are destroyed too.

FAQ'S 1Q) Unblocked attack: only possible when there are no enemies or also in the case when the attacker has more ships than the defender? 1A)Or if you target opponents fleet and he declines to block. 2Q) The effect of a card must be applied (an then the card is discarded) or you can choose? As an example: shields; you can choose to use them or play the card to negate a boarding party card. 2A)You get all benefits of the card when you play it. If you play shields on your ship you get defense +3 & you negate a boardng party card if one was or is played against that ship. 3Q) Combat cards that do not have an effect clearly stated as "this turn ..." are left on the ship at the end of the turn if the ship is not destroyed or you must discard them in any case? 3A)Only Personnel remain from turn to turn. Combat cards are discarded.

STAR TREK RPG SOLO CARD AND DICE GAME By C Gerard Luft

INTRODUCTION Although my favorite Science Fiction RPG has, is and always will be TRAVELLER (my favorite genre is Classic Space Opera; though DOCTOR WHO is always number one with me, I never classify it as a specific genre), I always had a soft spot in my heart for Roddenberry's utopian Star Trek. A veteran of the FASA STAR TREK RPG, The adventures I loved the most were the basic explore, first contact, go where no man has gone before on a Constitution Class Star Ship. This game captures that feel. Although I loved the FASA game, I am trying to be progressive, so I have used a VERY SIMPLIFIED system based off the new Decipher Star Trek RPG. You will need 2 six-sided dice and a card deck composed of the STAR TREK CARD LIST below. I have also included a STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION CARD

LIST, STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURES CARD LIST, STAR TREK: THE ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN SULU! CARD LIST and the crew from the ENTERPRISE-B in a STAR TREK: GENERATIONS CARD LIST (give Capt. Harriman a chance; he's just green).

THE TURN Each turn represents traveling at warp speed, orbiting and scanning, and beaming down to explore an unknown planet. You begin the game with the ENTERPRISE, KIRK, SPOCK and MC COY cards on the table. All the rest are shuffled up into one deck. Draw one card from the deck each turn. SHORE LEAVE!: If the card you draw is a crew person, add that character to your other cards (representing your Landing Party/ Bridge Officers). The turn is then over, so proceed to the next planet. FIRST CONTACT: If you draw a First Contact card, roll 2d6. If it is equal to or less than the score for the highest COMMAND OFFICER PROFESSION score of your cards in play, you succeed in making first contact. If you fail, the newly discovered aliens become hostile. Proceed to INVADERS below in order to resolve the conflict. INVADERS: If you draw a KLIGON SOLDIER OR CAPTAIN, or a ROMULAN SOLDIER OR COMMANDER, a fight ensues (complete with Phasers and round-house punches)! You must roll on a 2d6 equal to or less than the score of the highest SECURITY PROFESSION score or MEDICAL PROFESSION score of your cards in play, in order to avoid a casualty. If you fail, you must discard a card from your characters in play. Security goes first (it's that red shirt thing), then command, then science, and finally medical. SPACE COMBAT: If you draw a KLINGON or ROMULAN starship card, the ship attacks the ENTERPRISE: 1. The Klingon or Romulan ship goes first (it's a Star Fleet directive thing) " ENEMY SHIP: roll 2d6 +6 " ENTERPRISE: roll 2d6 + highest OPERATIONS OFFICER PROFESSION + 1 for each addition character in play with OPERATIONS OFFICER PROFESSION. " If the enemy's roll is greater than the Enterprise's roll, then the

1857

Enterprise is dead in space and the game is over. 2. The ENTERPRISE goes next " ENTERPRISE: roll 2d6 + highest COMMAND OFFICER PROFESSION +1 for each additional card in play with COMMAND OFFICER PROFESSION. " ENEMY SHIP: roll 2d6 + 6 " If the ENTERPISE'S roll is higher than the ENEMY SHIP'S roll, then the ENEMY SHIP is defeated. If not, return to step 1 and continue the combat.

TO BOLDLY GO WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE: If you draw a TO BOLDY GO WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE card, roll 2d6. If the roll is equal to or less than the card in play with the highest SCIENCE OFFICER PROFESSION or OPERATIONS OFFICER PROFESSION, then you succeed in a great discovery. If you roll greater then the score, then the ENTERPRISE is disabled, and the game is over.

WINNING If you make it through the deck, you win!

STAR WARS FLEETS INTRODUCTION Card game for 2 players. Star Wars Universe Fleet Actions. Rebel Fleet vs Imperial Fleet.

DISCLAIMER Star Wars is a copyrighted, licensed, trademarked property. This is merely a Fan site.

THE DECKS Each player has their own unique deck.

CARDS There are 4 types of cards: Capitol Ships Fighter Squads Personalities (captains or pilots) Action Cards Note: Capitol Ships & Fighter Squads are collectively referred to as spacecraft.

OBJECTIVE Reduce your opponent to zero Fleet Points.

FLEET POINTS Each player starts the game with 100 Fleet Points (FP).

SETUP Each player draws a hand of 7 cards. Draw a card to see who goes first. The highest Force ship wins.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 3 Phases: Maneuver Phase Deployment Phase Attack Phase

MANEUVER PHASE Draw 3 Cards from your deck. Max hand size is 10 cards. Discard excess cards. If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it.

1867

DEPLOYMENT PHASE Put Capitol Ships, Fighter Squads, and Personalities into play. Cards in play are put face up onto the Table. The cost in Fleet points to deploy a card is equal to its Force. [For Example: to deploy the Death Star (Force = 25) would drop the Imperial players FP total from 100 to 75.] Personality cards must be attached to a spacecraft. Captains can only be attached to Capitol Ships. Pilots can only be attached to Fighter Squads. If you deploy a Transport, draw a card.

ATTACK PHASE Spacecraft cannot attack the same turn they are deployed. You may attack with some, all, or none of your spacecraft in play. Each unblocked spacecraft does damage to your opponents FP Total equal to the Spacecraft’s modified Force Total (Modified by Action cards and attached Personalities) Your opponent may block with his spacecraft in play. Several spacecraft may combine to block one attacking spacecraft. Compare the Force total of an attacker and a blocker. The Spacecraft with the smaller Force is destroyed (discarded). Action cards are discarded after they are used. Instead of targeting the opponents FP Total, spacecraft that are unblocked may do damage to any one enemy spacecraft (now considered to be blocking) in play.

STAR WARS- A NEW HOPE BY SIR GERARD LUFT, KDM Luke, Han and Leia need to get back to the Millennium Falcon in the Death Star’s Docking Bay. But Vader and his minions are in hot pursuit.

Miniatures and Map If you have any problem keeping track of who is in what area each turn, draw up a map of the Death Star (or use the boards from the Escape from the Death Star Miniature Game) and pull out your Star Wars actions figures or miniatures! (As a matter of fact, these game rules were modified from the D20 Star Wars Fast Play Rules.

The Turn Each player lays his character cards (and miniatures) out face up before him. Then they draw a card from their deck for each of their characters, going right to left. The cards

1871

drawn indicate which area of the Death Star each individual character is that turn (If random location seems unrealistic, one merely needs to watch a few episodes of Doctor Who, Star Wars Episode IV, or any early seasons of Star Trek: the Next Generation, to see the heroes running “like chickens with their heads off” trying to save their derrières; it’s just the fun of true space operas!). If any character is in the same area with an opponent character, they may attack that opponent. (e.g., Luke, Leia, Boba Fett and the Storm Trooper are in the Command Center). Before a conflict occurs, players must decide if they wish to Tap (rotate 90 degrees/ AKA siding) a character to use the Force to Support another character in the same area (e.g., Leia taps to support Luke, and Darth Vader taps to support Boba Fett. Characters tapped due to damage taken in previous turns can not be tapped to support. The attacking characters must choose their targets. A character that is tapped to support can not be targeted. If there is a character that is tapped due to damage, then that character can be targeted. Only characters tapping to support are exempted from being targeted. Players should take turns attacking. However all attacks are considered to be simultaneous. A player draws one card from their deck for each character attacking. The character can draw more than one card if any other characters are tapped to support him or her (e.g., Tapping Leia when in the same area as Luke allows Luke to draw three additional Attack Draws when he enters into a Conflict). A character can only receive as many points of Force as he has as his Force Level (i.e., If Leia- Force 3 and Han- Force 3, both tap to support Luke, Luke- Force 4 can only receive 4 of the 6 points of force supporting him). Each card in the deck has a Power score (either 0 or 1). Take the character’s Power score and add that number of +1’s that he or she received from their attack draw(s). If the modified Power of the character attacking is greater than the Toughness score of their target, then that character has been injured. The first time a character is injured, that character card is tapped. For the remainder of the game, that injured character can not tap to support another card in the same area. Also, if that tapped character is successfully hit again, then it is removed from the game. After all conflicts have been resolved, characters that were tapped to support are untapped. The cards drawn for character location and Attack Draws are discarded. One does not need to reshuffle the discard pile each turn. But if one does, the probability balance will be much more accurate (this we found after doing some serious play testing with this game). The turn sequence repeats until all characters on one side are defeated. The player with the last man standing is the winner.

MAP SETUP Each player receives a 'Homeworld' chit. Place the other map chits face down randomly on the board, one per space. Leave the corners empty. Flip the chits over. Remove the blanks. Each players homeworld is placed in a different corner of the board. Players randomly determine who places their homeworld first. If a Homeworld is closed in by Supernovas, Black Holes, and Nebulas then remove one of these hazards.

EMPIRE CHITS Each player gets a set of chits in a different color. A set consists of 10 Fleet, 10 Stargate, and 20 colony chits.

VICTORY Victory goes to the first empire to have colonies on 12 worlds or that captures an enemy homeworld.

EMPIRE SETUP Each player starts the game with 2 Fleets and one stargate located on their Homeworld. Each player gets dealt 5 cards from the Galaxy Deck.

THE GALAXY DECK The deck contains 85 cards: 20 Attack 20 Move 20 Build 20 Trade 5 Research If during play, the deck is used up, reshuffle the discard pile and continue.

1888

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. The last player to place a Homeworld goes first and so on. Each turn is divided into 6 phases: 1. Draw 2. Trade 3. Support 4. Build 5. Movement 6. Battle

DRAW PHASE Retooling: The active player may discard up to 3 cards. Next: Production: All players draw galaxy cards to fill their hands to maximum draw size. (Yes, you read it right, ALL players) Homeworld Production: The starting max draw size is 5 cards. Colonial Production: Max draw size is increased by 1 for every 3 colonies the player has.

TRADE PHASE Free Trade: All players may freely trade cards with each other. External Trade: The active player may discard a Trade card to take a random card from an opponent. If the card is also a trade card, both are discarded. Internal Trade: The active player may discard a Trade card and X other cards to draw X +1 cards from the Galaxy deck. This may be done only once per turn.

SUPPORT PHASE Active player only. Defense Spending: Your Homeworld can support 2 Fleets. Defense Taxes: You may support an additional Fleet for every 2 colonies you have. Military Cutbacks: Unsupported Fleets of the active player are removed from the map. Logistics: A Build card may be discarded to count as a colony for support purposes.

BUILD PHASE Active player only. Shipyards: A Build card may be discarded to build a Fleet at your Homeworld. Colonization: If you have a Fleet present at a world which has no colonies, you may discard a Build card to build a colony there. Stargates: Three Build cards may be discarded to build a Stargate at a colony Terraforming: Five Build cards may be discarded to Terraform a world on which you have a colony. Add an additional colony to the terraformed world.

MOVEMENT PHASE Active player only. Armadas: Multiple friendly Fleets in the same space may be stacked together as an Armada. (or Starmada) Free Move: You get one free move. Move one Fleet or Armada one space orthogonally (no diagonal moves) Hazards: Fleets & Armadas cannot enter spaces occupied by hazards: Supernovas, Black Holes, and Nebulas. Spaceflight: A move card may be discarded to move one of your fleets or Armadas one space. A Fleet or Armada can move multiple times per turn. Beam me up: A Fleet or Armada at a stargate may move to any other friendly

1889

stargate as its move.

BATTLE PHASE Units: Fleets and Colonies are the two types of 'units' in the game. Battlefield: A battle occurs if opposing units occupy the same space and at least one player wants to fight. All units in the space must participate Resolution: The side with the highest force total wins. Each unit has a force value = 1. Homeworlds have a force value = 4. Attack Cards have a force value = 1. Players simultaneously reveal the Attack cards they are using. (On the count of 3) This is done once. More Attack cards cannot be added later. Players may use some, all, or none of the Attack cards in their hands. Attack cards used are discarded. Win: The winner suffers no casualties. Lose: All units of the losing side are destroyed (including Stargates). Mutual Destruction: If the totals are tied then all units of both sides are destroyed.

RESEARCH CARDS A research card can be used like any other type of card. Basic Research: Discard a research card in your trade phase to draw 2 cards.

OPTIONAL ABILITIES The following rules for spying, diplomacy, retreat, and disaster are optional, but recommended:

SPYING An Attack card may be discarded at any time to look at an opponents hand or to look at the next 5 cards in the deck.

DIPLOMACY A player may discard 2 Trade cards during an opponents move to prevent any opposing fleets from moving into a target space occupied by one of that players units (or homeworld).

RETREAT During an opponents move phase, if an opponents fleet enters a space containing one of your fleets or armadas, you may discard a move card to move your fleet or armada to an adjacent space not containing enemy units. The opponent may pursue by discarding his own move cards.

DISASTER Five Attack cards may be discarded to destroy any fleet, stargate, or colony anywhere on the map. This is the result of solar flares, asteroid impacts, seismic events, etc.

OPTIONAL RULES Exploration: The map chits are not set up at the beginning of the game.

1890

The identity of a space is not revealed (picked randomly from the pile) until a Fleet enters it. Discard a trade card for a unit to see into an adjacent space. Players cannot trade until their empires adjoin. To the Death: The game lasts until only one player is left. Low Technology: Do not use stargates. Power cards: Draw a star on 4 build, 4 attack, 4 trade, and 4 move cards. These are now worth two cards each.

For a Reconnaissance mission choose an enemy unit and roll one six sided die: 1D6 Result: 1-3 Unit Identity revealed if it is not a sub or a mine 4-5 No sightings 6 Reconnaissance Plane shot down by AA guns/fighters For a Bomber mission choose an enemy unit and roll one six sided die: 1D6 Result: 1-3 Target unit (not sub or mine) destroyed by bombs/torpedoes 4-5 Bomber misses 5-6 Bomber shot down by AA guns /fighters Each player has 4 Reconnaissance Planes and 4 Bombers. If all planes of 1 type are shot down, no more missions of that type are possible.

SUPER DICE INTRODUCTION Dice game simulating 2 Superheroes fighting.

VICTORY To win reduce your opponent to zero hits.

DICE Ten 6-sided dice are needed plus a few spares.

SETUP Each player gets 5 dice. Each Superhero stars with 50 hits and 5 Superpowers. Name your Superhero.

SUPERPOWER ALLOCATION Randomly select 12 superpowers from the list. Players take turns picking 1 superpower at a time until each player has picked 5 powers. Once a power has been picked, it cannot be picked again. Roll high on 1D6 to see who picks first.

TURN SEQUENCE Each turn has 4 Phases: Luck Phase Initiative Phase Action Phase Damage Phase

LUCK PHASE Each player rolls his 5 dice.

INITIATIVE PHASE The player with the highest total gains the initiative. The player with the initiative may go first or let his opponent go first in Action Phase.

ACTION PHASE Players take turns activating powers or assigning dice to Attack or Defense. Powers have a wide variety of effects Some Powers are Constant powers. Constant powers have their effect without being activated.

1895

A player must assign each of his Dice to either Attack or Defense. If there is nothing else left he can or wants to do he must pass. If both players pass in a row the phase ends. Each power can only be activated once per turn.

DAMAGE PHASE Attack Total = Total of all dice you assigned to Attack Defense Total = Total of all dice you assigned to Defense If your Attack total exceeds your opponents Defense Total, your opponent takes Damage in hits equal to the difference. If your opponents Defense Total exceeds your Attack total, you take Damage in hits equal to the difference. Dice that are switched or stolen are returned at the end of this phase.

POWERS LIST NOTATION A = Power that requires Activation C = Constant Power Convert(ed) = flip the target die to the indicated number Rolls = Dice * = you can only activate this power if you have at least one roll of 6. Eliminate = Remove the die from play for the rest of the turn. $ = Automatically assigns 1 or more dice to attack or defense.

I am writing to you in the hope that you can clarify this section for me so that I can slap my forehead, say "Doh!" and play the game. I can't figure out how the Action Phase is supposed to work. You wrote: "Players take turns activating powers or assigning dice to Attack or Defense." By this do you mean that in this sub-phase a player can EITHER activate a power or assign his dice? You also wrote: "Each power can only be activated once per turn." Okay, I can see why you don't want players to activate an Energy Blast five times in a row, but I want to return to the phrase "Players take turns....". So in this phase, if I am inferring correctly, players activate all of their powers (those that require activation) and assign their dice. Somehow, though, I think you have something else in mind. Is my interpretation overly complicated? Was my lobotomy too successful? I seem to be missing the point of this phase. If you could paint this by the numbers for me I would be most appreciative. A - OK...I guess you forced me to do an EXAMPLE OF PLAY: Lets say Cosmo Man has the first 5 Powers on the List. Lets his Opponent Ant Man has the next 5 Powers on the List. Luck Phase = Cosmo rolls 1,2,3,5,6. Ant Man rolls 1,2,4,5,6. Initiative Phase = Ant Man wins & decides to go first. Action Phase: (Players take turns. Ant Man first) Ant Man uses 'Extra Limbs' to convert his 2 into a 4 (Ant Man =1,4,4,5,6) Cosmo uses 'Teleportation' to switch his rolls with Ant Mans (Cosmo = 1,4,4,5,6) (Ant Man = 1,2,3,5,6) Ant Man uses 'Armor' to convert his 1 into a 5 for Defense (Ant Man =2,3,5D,5,6) Cosmo uses 'Mind Scan' to switch his 1 with Ant Man's 6 (Cosmo = 4,4,5,6,6) (Ant Man = 1,2,3,5D,5)

1897

Ant Man uses 'Energy Blast' to make a 5 a 10 for Attack only (Ant Man =1,2,3,5D,10A) Cosmo uses 'Invisibility', turning Ant Man's 5 into a 2 (Ant Man = 1,2,2D,3,10A) Ant Man uses 'Shrinking' to turn his 1 into a 6 for Defense (Ant Man = 2,2D,3,6D,10A) Cosmo has no target for his 'Super Leap' power. Cosmo assigns a 6 to defense (Cosmo = 4,4,5,6D,6) Ant Man has no target for his 'Entangle' power. Ant Man assigns his 3 to Attack (Ant Man = 2,2D,3A,6D,10A) Cosmo assigns his other 6 to defense (Cosmo = 4,4,5,6D,6D) Ant Man assigns his 2 to Attack (Ant Man = 2A,2D,3A,6D,10A) All of Ant Mans powers are used (if able) and all of his dice are assigned. Cosmo makes the rest of his Assignments since Ant Man is done. (Cosmo = 4A,4D,5A,6D,6D) Damage Phase = Ant Man has an Attack total of 15 & Defense Total of 8. Cosmo Man has an Attack total of 9 & Defense Total of 16. Ant Man does no damage to Cosmo. Cosmo does 1 point of damage to Ant Man. Cosmo regenerates 2 points of damage if he has any from previous turns. (Note- In this example players may not have made the best possible moves) RANDOMIZER SUGGESTION by Michael Callahan Because there are 66 powers in the list, a random determination of the initial 12 superpowers is easy to do. Just (if you wish to add this element to rules) advise the player who has the rules to write before the name of the power the following number sequence. Label Regeneration 1-1, Invisibility 1-2, etc., Shrinking 1-6, Extra Limbs 2-1, etc., Precognition 2-6; and then Force Field 3-1, and so on. Have the player(s) roll one die for the first 1-6 number and the same for the second number and find the corresponding power. Repeat 12 times and there you go.

SUPERHERO SLUGFEST CARD COMBAT INTRODUCTION Like cards better than counters? Now you can have your Slugfest Action and a handful of cards too!

DECKS Each player gets one deck. A deck represents one Superhero team, all its members, and all of their special abilities. A Superhero team has 4 Members. A deck has 40 cards. Each Member is represented by 10 cards: Five of these are Character cards. The five character cards all have the same title, the name of the superhero. The other five are Ability cards. The five ability cards have different titles according to what each power or ability is. Ability cards should also have the name of the superhero they belong to. Each card has a Force Value. The five character cards have Force values from 1 to 5. The five ability cards have Force values from 1 to 5.

TURN SEQUENCE Each turn has 5 phases: Power Up Phase Tactics Phase Attack Phase Slug Phase Knockout Phase

POWER UP PHASE Each player draws 8 cards. If a players deck runs out, shuffle the discard pile and draw from it.

TACTICS PHASE Players may discard up to 4 cards and draw replacements. For each Knocked out Character a player has, he may discard an additional card.

ATTACK PHASE Players reveal their hands. Hands are placed on the table face up.

SLUG PHASE Each player determines the battle total for his hand. Add up the Force value of all your cards. Ability cards only count if you have at least one of the appropriate character cards. For each Superhero, you can count only one of his or her character cards.

1902

Knocked out Heroes and their abilities do not count. Cards that do not count do not add to your Battle Total.

SUPERHERO SLUGFEST RPG EXPANSION RULES by Michael Callahan ([email protected])

SUPERHERO SLUGFEST RPG EXPANSION RULES THE ULTIMATE EDITION Wherewithal Add thusly this new Trait to the list: "Wherewithal=1. Wherewithal represents such traditional characteristics and proficiencies such as intuition, intelligence, experience, education, talents, and skills. If a player chooses to use "The Deliberate Creation Rule", he or she may raise the level(s) of Wherewithal by applying one or more Construction Points to that end. However, if one prefers the original generation method, merely implement the following amendment: if the player has rolled an 8 on the "Superhero Powers Table", then he or she rolls their 1D10 again-on a 1-5 the character is assigned a "Split Attack", and on a 6-10 the character's Wherewithal in increased by one. For every level the player rolls a 1D6, the sum reveals the number of Wherewithal Points that can be expended on behalf of the character during one 'game day'. Whenever, in the course of a 'game day', the player describes to the G.M. an unusual or toilsome goal that they want their character to attain, or the Game Master decides to challenge a character with an extraordinary or daunting task (such as hitting a grand slam, pulling a plane out of a tail-spin, or performing brain surgery with cutlery) the following procedure is undertaken. The G.M. assigns a number between 1-10, this simulates the intensity of the difficulty incumbent upon the character to overcome-be fair! Then the player spends as many Wherewithal Points as he or she wishes to and can consume (other players, with the Game Master's consent, may contribute their own Wherewithal Points to the primary player's attempt). Lastly, the player rolls a 1D10, adding the W.P. previously expended and subtracting the G.M.'s complication factor. On a result of 6+ the endeavor succeeds. In the case of exceptionally trying, hazardous, or complex tasks, the Game Master may require multiple successes. Hero Generation Add this sentence: "For all characters (henceforth, unless otherwise specified, this term always refers to both player and non-player characters) double their Speed Trait and triple the range of ordinary and special attacks (except for, and any specific attacks involving, the detection of hidden characters)." "Oh, if only I had another roll...." or, "Can't I have just one more Construction Point?" Because I feel your pain do the following. Reduce the Basic Trait Value of "Range" for your beginning character from 1 to 0-this is how one acquires that extra roll or C.P.; this option must be exercised before the character creation process. If a player rolls a 6 on the "Superhero Powers Table", it is ignored and rerolled, nor can this Trait be increased by the expenditure of a Construction Point. Any ranged attack, i.e., a strike attempted against a target that is located in a space beyond the one the attacking character is occupying, is made a -3. The Deliberate Creation Rule In order to produce a prepared character, players may avail themselves of this simple generation method. A player is given 10 Construction Points with which to buy their character's Powers and/or Special Abilities. Each improvement of a Trait or the acquisition of a Power or Special Ability usually costs one C.P. Range Add this sentence: "All hand-to-hand combat must occur in the same

1905

space." Flying Add the following subtable:

1D6 1-2 Flying: As previously written, but add the following to the first sentence: "...and/or vertical and horizontal movement." 3-4 Super-Leaping: The character can safely leap horizontally and/or vertically a number of spaces, in any combination of length and height, up to the value of their Speed Trait; the leaper cannot remain airborne at the end of a Movement Phase. This is how a character uses their super-leap offensively: the Attack value of a missile drop-kick is always 1 (the character is moving ballistically, the target is endeavoring to dodge, etc.). If the strike is successful, for every space, horizontal and/or vertical, which the leaper has traversed or entered the attacker rolls 1D6 in order to determine the damage (1-2-3=1; 4-5-6=2 Hits) inflicted on the defender; furthermore, on his or her next turn, the target automatically suffers from all the adverse effects of being 'knocked-down'. The impact also causes-again, only if the assault succeeded-1 to 3 (1-2=1; 3-4=2; 5-6=3) points of injury upon the assailant who, additionally, has to roll on the "Knockdown" table to see if they are afflicted by all of the provisions of this entry. Remember, all this occurs during a Movement Phase and does not necessarily deny (see the preceding sentence) the leaper the opportunity to conduct a regular attack. 5-6 Adhesion: The character can, without falling or sinking, move over any surface horizontally and/or vertically, a number of spaces up to the value of their Speed Trait. Stealth Add this sentence: Use these rules for ambushes, night-fighting, and for combat in built-up areas." Substitution: 11-15 Super-Salubrity

1D6 1-2 Enhanced Reaction: +3 to a character's Initiative roll. 3-4 Regeneration: As previously written. 5-6 Ruggedness: The character is able to ignore the consequences of being wounded; if rolled or chosen again, the character does not become unconscious because of their injuries. Also: Self-Discipline. Distraction Replace the word "Target" with the word "Target(s)". Add this sentence: "Range=the space the attacking character is occupying; everyone else in that space is potentially affected." After the word "Illusion" add the phrase "Holographic Doppleganger", and the word "Vertigo". 21-25 Domination

1D6 1-2 Animal Control: On a roll of 1-4 the character can control any one mammal, reptile, or bird within range. As an action, on a roll of 1-5 on a 1D6 the control can be sustained in the following turn(s). Range=2. 3-4 Mind Control: As previously written, although replace the word "target" with the phrase "human or humanoid". 5-6 Plant Control: On a roll of 1-4 on 1D6 the character can manipulate bushes and/or trees in the target space; anyone within this area must immediately (and for each successive turn that control is maintained and the victim is unable to leave the space) roll as if one was affected by being 'knocked-down'. As an action, on a roll of 1-5 on 1D6 the control can be sustained in the following turn(s). Range-2. Immunity A clarification: When a player rolls or purchases this Special Ability, he or she chooses a category given in the "Sources of Attacks" section; their character is given a +6 against all of the attack forms listed therein. This Special Ability cannot be gained more than three times. Weaken Substitution: 1-2 Speed. The first time the character's Speed Trait is reduced he or she is unable to move during the first Movement Phase. If thus again 'weakened', the victim cannot move during the second Movement Phase, and insofar as their Speed is concerned, they are inert for the

1906

remainder of the battle. Thereafter, the target loses one point from their Attack Trait on a 1-3, and one point from their Defend Trait on

4-6. Transference If the player chooses, or by rolling, acquires the Special Ability "Weaken", he or she may upgrade it to this new Special Ability. (the improvement costs an extra Construction Point or an additional dicr roll opportunity). When someone is 'weakened' that deleted Trait point is 'transferred' to the corresponding Trait category of the character who inflicted the depletion. All the stolen points evaporate at the end of the battle. Immobilize After the phrase "Mind Trap" add the phrase "Intensify Gravity" and the word "Encase". Read Minds Add the following to the first sentence: "...; a character can establish silent communication with any friendly character(s) within range." Suppress In the first sentence, the word "turn" is substituted for the word "battle". Dematerialization After the word "Desolidification" add the phrase "Astral Travel". Size Change Shrink: Add this sentence: "A diminutive character can still use Special Attacks as well as "Distraction". Fear Add the following to the second sentence: "...for the remainder of this battle." Power Points In the first sentence, the phrase "game day" is substituted for the word "battle". Like Wherewithal, Power Points are recovered 'overnight'. In the last sentence, the word "character" is substituted for the word "team". Optionally, after the last sentence, add the following: "A new Power Point does not need to be expended in order to perpetuate a potentially continuing effect unless that Special Ability is allowed to lapse or it has failed to be sustained by a successful roll. Sources of Attacks Add the following: "I've classified the preceding sources of attacks into the subsequent categories (Game Masters may, of course, 'reassign these passengers to different cabins')". Biological: Dehydration, Decay, Disease. Electromagnetic: Lightning, Gravity, Electrical, Telekinetic. Exotic: Water, Wave, Positive Energy, Negative Energy, Shadow, Disintegration, Molecular Disruption, Web, Acid. Kinetic/Concussive: Punch, Kick, Strength, Grapple, Ice (shards), Sonic, Thunder, Wind, Explosive, Martial Arts, Arrow, Blade, Crushing, Strangulation, Spines, Bite, Claws, Constriction, Projectile, Ballistic. Mental: Fear, Psychic, Psionic. Radiant: Fire, Ice (encasement), Heat, Light, Cold, Steam, Radiation, Particle, Stellar. Supernatural: Spirit, Mystic. Determine Initiative In the first sentence, the word "character" is substituted for the word "team". Thus each character, independently of their team, rolls for their own Initiative, and then performs his or her Movement, Attack, and Action Phases. In the case of ties, the character with the highest Speed Trait goes first. Movement Phase The following clarifies the second sentence: "Characters can attempt to detect hidden characters either before or after their movement." The following replaces the third sentence: "The density of the occupation of a space is dependent upon its representative size, e.g., a space representing five square feet can hold up to two characters on foot and one airborne character; a space representing ten square feet can hold up to four characters on foot and to airborne ones, etc." Attack Phase The following refinements are added to the fifth sentence: "...; wounded

1907

characters at the beginning of their first Movement Phase during every subsequent turn (unless they have been rendered unconscious or killed) must roll on the "Weaken" table, furthermore, wounded characters can only move during the second Movement Phase." Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My! Some Notes on Animal Attacks Insect swarms (wasps, fire ants, etc.) do not have Traits, instead roll 1D6 times on the "Weaken" table to ascertain the effects of their stings or bites. Pack (dogs, lots of rats, etc.) assaults are more serious. The G.M. should compose a Trait template for the pack which is determined upon an aggregate basis. The pack uses the Special Attack "Immobilze". Boas-the reptile, not the fashion accessory-as well as big lizards should be dealt with in the same way (except, of course, the template is crafted for just one creature). Jungle cats and such will also require their own individual Trait templates. If one of these beasts successfully attacks, the victim must roll to see if they are 'knocked-down'.

POWER POINTS A hero with a power point can generate 1D6 effects per game day. Power points are extremely versatile and can be used for almost anything. Power points can be used to imitate any special ability or to increase a trait by +1. A power point can be used to give another unit a second power point (Range =2). They can be used to change the source of an attack or defense the same unit is making. Effects can last up to one turn or more if the character is not engaged in combat.

SOURCES OF POWER POINTS Power points represent a body of knowledge and resources that can have a variety of uses. A source describes where these resources come from. Pick one of these if the Hero has a power point. Sources of Power points include: Gadgets, Scientist, Magician, Mechanic, Spirits, Engineer, Alien Technology, Psionics, Sorcery, Demonics, Biomystic Energies, Divine powers, Mutations, Robotics, Chakras, Necromantic Secrets, Voodoo, Witchcraft, Cybernetics, Dream Realities, Plant Life, Nature, Sorcery, Gravity control Players may wish to limit the types of effects produced by the power point, depending on the source

SOURCES OF ATTACKS A Unit may have several sources: Punch, Kick, Strength, Grapple, Fire, Ice, Lightning, Sonic, Water, Wave, Thunder, Heat, Positive Energy, Negative Energy, Light, Cold, Steam, Shadow, Gravity, Radiation, Wind, Electrical, Particle, Explosive, Stellar, Dehydration, Fear, Telekinetic, Disintegration, Molecular Disruption, Psychic, Martial Arts, Arrow, Blade, Crushing, Strangulation, Web, Acid, Spines, Bite, Claws, Decay, Disease, Constriction, Weapon, Projectile, Ballistic, Spirit, Mystic, Psionic, etc.

SOURCES OF DEFENSE Armor, Force Field, Shield, Dodge, Absorption, Toughness, Metal, Carapace, Exoskeleton, Quick, Luck, etc.

COMBAT TURN SEQUENCE 1. 2. 3. 4.

Determine Initiative Movement Phase Attack Phase Action Phase

DETERMINE INITIATIVE Roll high on D10 to determine the order in which teams take rest of their turns (Steps 2-4). The winner moves, attacks, and takes his actions first, then the next player may go. Turns in game time are 5 seconds long.

1911

MOVEMENT PHASE Move your heroes on the map a number of spaces up to their Speed Trait. Characters can attempt to detect hidden characters either before or after their movement. Units detect hidden units within 3 spaces on a roll of 1-2 on D6. The density of the occupation of a space is dependent upon its representative size, e.g., a space. representing five square feet can hold up to two characters on foot and one airborne character; a space representing ten square feet can hold up to four characters on foot and two airborne ones, etc.

ATTACK PHASE Attacker picks a target and rolls 1D10. The target must be in range. Units in adjacent hexes (Range = 1) are considered to be in HTH range. The attacker adds their Attack trait and the defender subtracts their Defend trait. On a roll of 6+ the attack hits. Roll a number of D6 equal to the attackers Damage Trait to determine the number of hits the defender loses. A Defender reduced to half his hits is wounded. A Defender reduced to 0 or less hits is unconscious. A Defender reduced to -5 or less hits is killed. Wounded characters at the beginning of their first movement phase during every subsequent turn (unless they have been rendered unconscious or killed) must roll on the "Weakened" subtable of the "Random Special Ability Table", furthermore, wounded characters can only move during the action phase.

ACTION PHASE Heroes that did not attack may do some other activity. They may move a second time.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 5 phases: Recruit Phase Magic Phase Move Phase Battle Phase End Phase

RECRUIT PHASE Keep your Chits in a separate pile. Draw 1 Unit Chit from your unit pile per Home space you control. Put the unit into play on or adjacent to the Home space.

ADJACENCY RULE Units or spaces must share a common border to be adjacent. Diagonal spaces and units are not adjacent.

STACKING RULE You may stack up to 3 of your units in a single space. Discard excess units. The stacking limit must be strictly enforced.

MAGIC PHASE If you control any Shamans, draw 2 Spell cards. Max hand size is 5 cards. Discard excess cards.

MOVE PHASE Each unit has a number of Move Points (MP). Different Terrain types have different Move costs to enter. Wet Units pay 1/2 MP to enter Wet spaces Dry Units pay 1/2 MP to enter Dry spaces. Water Units pay 1/2 MP to enter Water spaces. Tree Units pay 1/2 MP to enter Tree spaces You cannot enter or move through a space containing enemy units. Units with Jump can move over intervening stacks. Units moving into Treacherous territory must end their move.

BATTLE PHASE You may attack adjacent enemy stacks with your own stacks. Resolve conflict between two opposing stacks, one at a time. A turn may have multiple battles between multiple stacks. Battles are fought in Rounds. During each round, each unit in turn in both opposing stacks gets to attack once. Start with the Active player (Player whose turn it is) Pick which of your units is attacking and Roll 1D6. If the roll is equal to or less than the attacking units Force, one Hit is inflicted. If there is a Hit, the defender decides which of his units is hit. Any unit reduced to zero hits is discarded.

1928

The other player then attacks and so on. This repeats until one side is completely eliminated. A Shaman instead of attacking may cast a Spell. A Wet, Dry, Tree, or Water unit attacking into or out of the appropriate terrain type has its Force increased by one.

POISON A unit hit by a poison unit must roll 1D6. On a roll of 1-2 the unit is killed.

SHELL If a Shell unit is hit, roll 1D6. On a roll of 1-2 the hit is ignored.

END PHASE Remove Summoned and Mesmerized Units from play.

TILE & CHIT SETS Really cute stuff by jiminybollocks Check it out: Click Here

COMMENTARY By Jiminy Bollocks... I use damage counters to mark which units have suffered hits, and I find that after the battle phase is over it is best to remove all damage counters. This speeds up the game and stops the playing area from getting cluttered. If a leader is killed I just allow him to be recruited again as a unit, since there is no rule stating otherwise. If all units on one side in a battle are affected by a Stuck in the Mud spell, I play that the affected side automatically loses, so as to speed up the game, because the result is inevitable due to the lack of any dispelling spells. When I play, the summon kin and mesmerize spells allow a stack to break the usual stack limit. Since the affected units are discarded at the end phase, this doesn't upset the game too much.

1929

SWARM INTRODUCTION 2 player board & card abstract strategy wargame. Each player controls an insect swarm.

VICTORY Destroy your opponents swarm or control all the Den spaces in play or Be in control of the most spaces when the deck runs out.

THE BOARD Use an 8x8 square grid. Each square has a terrain type. Randomly distribute the following terrain types: 1 – Flat Ground – No effects 2 – Grass – Stacks in this square get Attack +1 3 – Mound – Stacks in this square get Defense +1 4 – Food Source – If you occupy this space your Swarm gets Reproduction +1 5 – Broken Ground – A stack in this space gets Stack +1 6 – Water – Stacks may not end their moves on this space. 7 – Den – Victory condition: A stack in this space gets Stack +2

PIECES Each player starts with a set of counters of a unique color (use checkers). The counters are called “Insects” (or Bugs). A stack of insects in a space is called a “Stack”. When referring to all your Insects use the term “Swarm” (or Hive).

ATTRIBUTES Your insects/swarm has the following six attributes: Attack, Defense, Movement, Reproduction, Stacking, Intelligence. Each Insect has a base Attack value = 1 Each Insect has a base Defense value = 1 Each Insect has a base Movement value = 1 Your Swarm has a base Reproductive capacity = 1 Each Stack of Insects has a base Stack limit = 1 Your Swarm has a base Intelligence level = 1 The attack value is how much damage an insect can inflict in attack phase. The defense value is how much damage an insect can take before being destroyed. The Movement value determines how many spaces an insect may move. The Reproduction value is the number of new insects you get each turn. The Intelligence value is how many stacks or partial stacks you may move per turn. The Stack value is the limit of how many insects you may have in one stack. As you gain cards, the values of your attributes will increase. Certain terrain types will give attribute bonuses to your swarm or occupying stacks.

SETUP Each player starts with one Insect counter in one corner of the board. Players should start in opposite corners. The player with the most bulgy eyes goes first.

1930

THE DECK Players share a common deck. The deck contains one of each card described in the card list.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 5 phases: Evolution Phase Reproduction Phase Move Phase Attack Phase Disperse Phase

EVOLUTION PHASE Draw 1 card from the deck. Place it face up in front of you with the rest of the cards. Your swarm immediately and permanently gets the attribute bonus indicated on the card.

REPRODUCTION PHASE Gain a number Place the new If placing on If you cannot

of new insects equal to your Reproduction attribute. insects on top of your existing stacks or in empty adjacent spaces. top of a stack, you cannot exceed your stack limit attribute. place an insect, discard the counter.

MOVE PHASE You may move up to a number of stacks equal to your Swarms Intelligence level. This includes partial stacks if you are breaking up a larger stack. You may use a move to combine stacks together. (Note: at the start of the game, your stack limit = 1) You may move your stacks into spaces occupied by enemy stacks. 2 or more of your stacks in the same space will automatically combine to form 1 stack.

ATTACK PHASE If two opposing stacks occupy the same space, they will fight. Combat is simultaneous. Each stack inflicts damage equal to the sum of all the attack scores of all its insects. An insect can take as much damage as its defense value before being killed. Excess damage not enough to kill an insect is ignored. The attack phase may end with stacks from both players occupying the same space.

EXAMPLE OF COMBAT Joe’s Swarm has a total Attack = 1 and Defense = 1 Ron’s Swarm has a total Attack = 1 and Defense = 2 Ron has a stack of 3 insects & Joe has a stack of 5 insects in the same space. Ron inflicts 3 damage, so 3 of Joe’s insects are killed. Joe inflicts 5 damage, so 2 of Ron’s insects are killed. (Each of Ron’s insects can take 2 damage: it would have taken 6 damage to kill all 3)

1931

DISPERSE PHASE If a stack contains more insects than its stack limit, the excess insects must disperse. Place the dispersed insects into empty adjacent spaces (not to exceed the stacking limit). If an insect is unable to disperse, it is removed from play.

SWORD & SORCERY RULES for Super Hero Slugfest by Michael Callahan at [email protected] SWORDS & SORCERY SLUGFEST (a permutation of SUPERHERO SLUGFEST) (Unless otherwise noted all of the revisions of and the optional rules SUPERHERO SLUGFEST will be used in this variant.) Character Creation In homage to and in conformity with the conventions of fantasy role-playing games, a player can personify either a warrior or a wizard. If one chooses to play a warrior, the player receives five Construction Points with which to build their character. (Before CP's are added, selections made, or dice rolled, player and non-player characters, and all monsters as well, start with the Basic Traits package and are the equivalent of zero-level beings. Each Construction Point increases the level by one-thus, beginning PC's enter the game at fifth level.) Players must apply four of these CP's to the improvement of their character's Traits. The last Point represents the power of a magical melee weapon (a boon, an heirloom, or perhaps 'acquired' by the character in a previous adventure). Roll once on the Random Special Ability Table to determine the nature of the weapon's power; other magical artifacts can be likewise generated. Player character wizards also receive five Construction Points-however, only one of these can be alloted to increasing the character's Traits, the others are used to buy Power Points. Next, the player determines their character's spell repertoire. For each Power Point, the player picks an ability from the Random Special Ability Table (to this end, "Flight" is substituted for "Knockdown"). Thus a beginning PC wizard can generate between 4-24 spell effects per 'game day'. Sorry, wizards cannot hoard and accumulate unexpended Power Points. No wizard can 'embody' more Power Points per day than their maximum storage permits. Unused PP's are carried over to the next day; otherwise, Power Point slots are 're-energized' if the wizard sleeps for at least six hours straight. PP's affixed to an artifact or weapon are recovered by the next encounter. Should the wizard endow someone with a Power Point, the recipient can only employ effects already known by the wizard who imbued that character. So how does one cast a fireball or shockbolt? The mechanism has been provided by these two phrases from the Power Points section: "...increase a trait by +1.", and "Effects can last up to one turn...." An explanation by way of an example: Waldo the Wizard is having a bad day-it began, when just after dawn, he was accosted by a truculent troll (are there any other kind?). As a fifth level or beginning player character, he knows these four standard spell effects: Mind Control, Read Minds, Reflect, and Fear. During the first combat turn, discharging one Power Point, Waldo only gained one effect, and unfortunately (I told you it was one of those days), the troll is now immune to Fear. He refrained from attempting to mentally dominate his opponent because of the poor odds of success and that the troll's next attack could be decisive. Realizing that he needed to end this fight quickly, in the next turn, Waldo improvised a new offensive spell-The Blazing Beam of Troll Trouncing. Expending two of his three remaining Power Points, the player rolled a couple of six-siders and produced eight spell effects! Waldo has a factor of 1 in the relevant Traits of Attack, Range, and Damage. Since our wizard is already in melee the variable of Range is a moot issue. Understandably, he is fretful about overcoming the troll's impressive Defend Trait, and so four additives each are dedicated to the other component Traits (for a +5 Attack and Damage in this combat turn). Good luck, Waldo. As you can see, Waldo's Traits are not so much intrinsically changed or bettered, as for this purpose, used for a basis of measurement. Let me use Waldo to address another topic (that Blazing Beam of Troll

1933

Trouncing must have worked after all). Waldo is gambling in a tavern. Waldo is a magic-user, he is not a card-shark, and if he doesn't win this pot he will be calling himself Waldo the Begger. He spends one Power Point and generates four spell effects. Our less-than-sportsmanlike wizard then successfully deploys one of these effects as Mind Control to 'persuade' his opponent to fold. Scooping up his winnings Waldo quickly leaves town. The GM rules that the encounter is over and the left-over three spell effects have dissipated. Now if Waldo had wanted to play another hand, or if his victim's suspicious friends decided to detain Waldo before he could mount his horse, then the encounter is continuing (albeit, in a new phase), and the uncommitted spell effects (as well as any unreleased Power Points) would be available for Waldo's use. Other Races and Classes Instead of furnishing an encyclopedia of templates (the particulars of which I presume most Game Masters prefer to develop for themselves), I shall withdraw from my stockpile two examples which GM's can use as guidelines for creating their own augmentations or additions to the basic options of the human warrior or wizard (in order to sustain the appeal of these primary stereotypes, in contrast to their exotic or specialized alternatives, I have tried to implement a principle of balance: for every 'advantage' there is a roughly comparable 'disadvantage'). Dwarf: +10 Hits, and roll twice on the Random Special Ability Table (re-roll duplication) to determine the magical melee weapon's powers; a Dwarf cannot be a wizard, and his Speed Trait can never be greater than 1 (otherwise as a warrior). Druid: Automatically possesses Animal and Plant Control as Special Abilities; but if the Druid attempts to enter a man-made enclosure, he or she must roll as if attacked by the Special Ability Fear. Experience For every opponent who is at least two levels higher than and is single-handedly vanquished (slain or rendered unconscious and captured) by a player character that PC is rewarded with one Construction Point and a +1 to their Wherewithal task resolution roll (or, if you will, advances a level). A PC warrior must devote their CP to the improvement of a Trait, however, a player character wizard may either increase the prowess of a Trait or buy an extra Power Point. Monsters To ascertain how dangerous a given monster is, the Game Master rolls 1D6: 1=a fifth level monster is encountered (i.e., the GM has five Construction Points with which to 'evolve' the Traits of and/or acquire Special Abilities-including "Flying", "Split Attacks", and Power Points-for the monster, creature, or entity; 2=sixth level; 3=seventh level, etc. If the GM's in a foul mood, he or she can roll more dice. With the available options, any entry from your favorite fantasy beastiary should be capable of being modeled. Cannonfodder Rabble (and perhaps goblins): use the Civilians statistics from the Extras section of SHSF (in this case, and those below, the Speed Trait, if above 1, represents horses and the Range Trait, if above 1, represents bows, javelins, slings, etc.) Outlaws or Militia: as Thugs and Police. Cultists, Criminal Enforcers, and Mercenaries: as Terrorists and Mercenaries. Soldiers: as Soldiers. Elite Soldiers: as Kung Fu Guards.

TALES OF ARABIA by Frederic Moll ([email protected]) Here is another way to use the cards described in the ARABIA game.... It will be "ARABIA : the story-telling game"... The original idea came when i first played "Once upon a time" game... Thus it use the OUAT system with arabian twists... Material required : - Cards from the ARABIA game - Endings cards (similar to the OUAT ending cards but with arabian flavor) - More cards (locations, characters, etc....) Goal of the game : Being about to tell and finish stories... The longer the story, the more victory points will be earned... Game setup : Give to each player 4 ending cards. Shuffle the remaining ending cards with the ARABIA cards and then deal 7 cards to each player. One of the player will begin to tell a story and put down a card when the card/word is said... Game system (borrowed from OUAT game): Every time a word on a card is said, the card will be put down on the right of the last card. If during his play, the teller says a word that is on a card of another player hand, it will be an interruption. The interruption put his card down and must continue the story. Beginning a sub-story : As most arabian stories have sub-stories, when a character/human/intelligent being is placed down, it is possible to begin a sub-story... Example : when Alex played the "Old man on the sea", he decides to start a sub story that will be told by this old man... The sub story cards will be placed in a row under the originating card... To conclude the sub-story , and thus continue the original storyline, at least 4 cards must be placed before being able to put an ending card... As in arabian tales, it is possible to have a sub-story told during a sub-story... When the sub story is ended, the "ending" player take all the cards composing the sub story in front of him in his victory pile. Picking additional cards : When a player is interrupted, he must pick a card from the deck of unused card. If a player try to place an ending card that is not viewed as a good ending to the story by the other players, he must pick 3 additional cards. Finishing the game : The game is finished when a player has laid down all his story cards and place the final ending to the main storyline. Determining the winner : Being the finishing player of the main story : 2 points For each sub-story/story finished : 1 point + (number of story cards played in the story minus 3)... Example : Alex was able to finished 2 sub stories (8 cards long and 6 cards long)... Thus alex will earn : 1 point + 5 points (8 - 3) for the 8 cards long story 1 point + 3 points (6 - 3) for the 6 cards long story

TANK KILLERS INTRODUCTION 2 player card game. Simulates a battle between two tank formations during WW2. The current version of the game has decks for: Germans, British, and Americans circa 1944-5.

THE DECKS During play there are 3 decks. Players share a common Tactics Deck. Each player also has his own unique Formation Deck. The tactics deck has 80+ cards. The German deck has 40 cards. The American and British decks have 50 cards.

DISCARD PILES There is one common discard pile for the Tactics deck. Each player keeps two discard piles for his Formation deck. One pile is the Reserve discard pile. The other is called the Casualty discard pile.

VICTORY You win if half of your opponent’s formation cards are in his casualty pile. Your opponent’s forces break and either rout or surrender. Other Scenario conditions are possible.

SETUP Each player starts with 3 Tactics cards in their hand. Formation cards never go in your hand.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. The player taking his turn is called the active player. The other player is referred to as the opponent or defender. Each turn is divided up into 3 Phases with sub-phases: I. Maneuver Phase II. Attack Phase 1. Attacker Subphase 2. Target Subphase 3. Lost Attack Subphase 4. Modifier Subphase 5. Resolution Subphase III. Free Attack Phase 7. Free Attack Subphase 8. Free Attacker Subphase 9. Attack Subphase

MANEUVER PHASE 1947

The active player draws 3 Tactics cards. Maximum hand = 9 cards. Discard excess cards. If the Tactics deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it.

ATTACKER SUBPHASE Discard any face up units you have in play, that attacked on your last turn, to your reserve pile. Take the top card form your Formation deck and Put it face up on the table in front of you. This is the unit or support unit that is attacking this phase.

TARGET SUBPHASE The attacker has a choice of units to attack this phase: 1. Any opposing unit that is still in play, or 2. The top card of the opponents Formation deck. The top card is turned face up, and remains on the deck. The target unit is also called the defending unit. If the target is a support unit, discard it to its reserve pile, and the phase ends immediately.

LOST ATTACK SUBPHASE The defender may play a card from his hand that has the “Lost Action” effect. This ends the current phase immediately. The defender may play a card from his hand that has the “End Turn” effect. This ends the active players turn immediately. The defender may play a Logistics or Mine card from his hand that has the “Out of Action” effect. This ends the current phase immediately and the attacking unit goes to its casualty pile. These cards cannot be played against Support attacks unless the card specifically says so. The played card is discarded.

MODIFIER SUBPHASE The attacker and defender may take turns (attacker first) playing tactics cards that Modify the “Penetration Factor” of the attacking unit. Only one “Range” card may be played. Only one “Hit” card may be played. Only one “Ammo” card may be played. In general the attacker will play cards with a positive bonus. The defender will play cards with a negative penalty. If Range card is played that is farther than the Range factor of the Attacker, the current phase ends immediately. Range cards cannot be used by or against support attacks. Played tactics cards are discarded.

RESOLUTION SUBPHASE If the attackers modified penetration factor is equal to or greater than the defenders Defense factor, the defending unit is destroyed. When attacking Infantry, use the Infantry factor instead of the penetration factor. A destroyed unit goes to its casualty pile. If the defending unit is not destroyed, it remains in play. Whenever a phase or turn ends, discard any attacking support card, to its casualty pile. Non-support attacking units stay in play.

1948

If the defender was not destroyed, the attacker may play a Hit, or Morale card with an “Out of Action” effect. A target put out of action is destroyed.

FREE ATTACK SUBPHASE The active player may play a card from his hand that has the “Free Action” effect. This basically gives the player another attack phase. After every attack phase, the active player may have another attack phase as long as he plays a Free Action card.

FREE ATTACKER SUBPHASE If the Free Action card also says “Same unit”, then the attacker may be a nonsupport unit that already attacked this turn. Otherwise: Take the top card form your Formation deck and Put it face up on the table in front of you. This is the unit or support unit that is attacking this phase.

ATTACK SUBPHASE This is a repeat of Subphases 2-5 of the Attack Phase.

FULL EXCHANGE RULE If your Formation deck ever runs out of cards, shuffle your reserve pile, this becomes your new formation deck. However, you cannot attack until your opponent uses up his formation deck. Everytime both players finish going through both their decks, this is known as a “Full Exchange”.

INTERPRETATION OF CARDS Each card is an abstraction that could mean several things but still just having one game effect. For example: The 'Trees' card might mean your opponent is slowed down by moving through forest, or that your unit has found cover in the woods. Anglos = British or Americans. OOA = Out of Action

FORMATION CARD LIST ABBREVIATIONS Type = Formation cards can be of two types: Units or Support LT = Light Tank Unit MT = Medium Tank Unit HT = Heavy Tank Unit TD = Tank Destroyer Unit AT = Anti-Tank Gun Unit Inf = Infantry Unit FA = Field Artillery Unit SP = Self Propelled Gun AC = Armored Car Unit APC = Armored Personnel Carrier Unit M = Mortar MI = Mechanized Infantry Unit AA = Anti-Aircraft Unit Air = Air Support Art = Artillery Support Pen = Penetration Factor: Used for attacking vehicles. Inf = Infantry Factor: Used for attacking Infantry Def = Defense Factor: Used to determine if the card survives an attack. Rng = Maximum Range: Range cards can be used to negate attacks. # = Number of that card in the deck.

GAME DESIGNERS NOTES I originally planned doing a game with maps and chits, however

1952

there is at least 300+ games that already fit this description, so I decided it would be better as a light, quick, filler card game. You'll notice the American units are mostly inferior to the German units. Historically, this is more than made up for by the fact that as the war progressed, Allied manpower and production of materials swamped that of the Axis. To make things more fair, you may want to add cards to the Allies decks.

TAROT WARS

INTRODUCTION CCG style rules for Tarot Decks. There are so many nice Tarot Decks it’s a shame not to game with them. Card game for 2+ players.

VICTORY Reduce your opponent to Zero Life Points.

THE DECK Players share a common deck. Use any Tarot Deck on hand. There are 3 card types: Characters, Events, and Modifiers: Character cards stay face-up in play until killed. Event cards are discarded as soon as they are played. Modifier cards stay in play attached face-up to a Character card.

LIFE POINTS Each player starts with 50 Life Points. Use coins to keep track of LP.

ACTION TOKENS Use tokens for Action Tokens (AT). Every time a Character is used to Attack, Block, or some other action, put an AT on it. A Character with an AT can do nothing until the AT is removed in Beginning Phase.

OTHER TERMINOLOGY 1954

Target (Unspecified): Character or Opponent’s Life Point Total.

SETUP Each player is dealt 7 cards. Cut the Deck High to determine turn order.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 5 Phases: Beginning Phase Draw Phase Character Phase Attack Phase End Phase

BEGINNING PHASE Remove Action Tokens from your Characters.

DRAW PHASE Draw 2 cards and put them in your hand. If the Deck runs out, shuffle the discard & draw from it.

CHARACTER PHASE Put Character cards from your hand face-up into play. The Characters you play can have a maximum combined Base Force = 12 You “Control” Characters you put into play. You may also put Modifier cards into play. Modifier cards are attached face-up to a Character card. A Character can have a maximum of 1 Sword card attached.

ATTACK PHASE Your Characters may Attack. Characters attack a Target Opponents Life Point Total (LPT). An Unblocked Character does Damage equal to its Modified Force Total (MFT). This Damage is subtracted from the players Life Points. The Target Opponent (The Defender) may use his Characters to Block. The Defender chooses which of his Characters block which Attackers. Each pair of Blocking/Blocked Characters does damage to each other. If a Character receives more damage in a Phase than its MFT, it is discarded. Blocked Characters do not damage the opposing LPT. Characters cannot attack the turn they are put into play.

END PHASE Maximum hand size = 7 cards. Discard excess cards.

CARD LIST NOTATION C = Character (The number after the C is the “Force” of the Character)

NOTES if you have more than 3 or 4 players, you may want to use more than one deck.

VARIANTS PLEASE I welcome people to write up: 1. Variant rules for cards (For example- The Fool cannot Block) 2. Variant card rules for the whole deck (Rewrite all the cards- allow for more combos or different strategies) (Note in some decks the Knight & Page are the Prince & Princess) 3. Variant card rules for different Tarot Decks. (For example- You might want to use my card rules list for the Rider-Waite Tarot Deck and a different rules list for the Sacred circle Tarot Deck, and then play the Decks against each other. It would need to be following the same general rules to be playable thoughThe court cards being characters Wands as event damage Swords as character equipment Cups as health Pentacles as magic/metagame And the other cards as a variety of specials character, modifier and event.)

THE BOARD The board is a grid of 9 squares known as territories. These territories are numbered 1-9. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Each territory is further divided into a grid of 9 squares known as plots. The plots in each territory are also numbered 1-9. The map consists of (9 x 9) 81 plots.

COUNTERS Cardboard counters are also referred to as chits. Each player needs a set of counters of a unique color. There are 70 counters in each set. There are 7 types of counters in each set. Each set includes 10 of each type of counter. Counter Types: 1. Temple 2. Castle 3. Town 4. Farm 5. Mine 6. Palace 7. Armies The first six types of counters are called structures. Army chits are not structures. Temples represent religious influence. Castles represent military resources. Towns represent economic resources. Farms represent agricultural resources. Mines represent mineral resources. Palaces represent political influence. Armies represent use of military force.

SETUP Each player gets a set of counters. Players keep their counter sets in separate opaque cups. These are called draw cups. Determine turn order by a flip of a coin.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 4 phases: 1. Draw Phase 2. War Phase 3. Build Phase 4. End Phase

1965

DRAW PHASE Draw 2 random chits from your cup of chits. These chits go into your reserve pile. Reserve pile chits are played face up in front of you. If your cup is empty place your discard pile into it.

WAR PHASE You may discard one army chit from your reserve pile. Discard an enemy structure from any one plot. Each player has a discard pile to put his discarded chits.

BUILD PHASE Place one of your structure chits in an empty plot. You cannot place your castles next to enemy castles. You cannot place your temples next to enemy temples. You cannot place your palaces next to enemy palaces.

END PHASE Discard chits from your reserve pile to keep it at a maximum of 4 chits.

THE END OF THE GAME The game ends when all plots are occupied.

VICTORY The player with the highest total score is the winner.

SCORING At the end of the game players determine their scores. Points are accumulated from a variety of scoring combinations. Add up all points to get your total score. You control a territory if you have the most structures in it. "In a row" can mean orthogonal or diagonal. Points Scoring Combo 5 Having 5 structures in a territory 6 Having 6 structures in a territory 7 Having 7 structures in a territory 8 Having 8 structures in a territory 9 Having 9 structures in a territory 5 Control of the center territory 9 Control 3 territories in a row 8 Control of a square of 4 territories 8 Control of the 4 corner territories 3 Have the most Temples on the board 3 Have the most Farms on the board 3 Have the most Castles on the board 3 Have the most Towns on the board 3 Have the most Mines on the board 3 Have the most Palaces on the board 3 Having 3 structures in a row (6 if of the same type) 4 Having 4 structures in a row (8 if of the same type)

TERRIBLE TALES TO PLAY This is a game of story telling. Shuffle the Deck. Each player draws 5 cards. The oldest or the youngest player starts. A player starts to tell a story. Players try to incorporate the idea on one of their cards into the story. If a player does this he may discard that card. After discarding, the player to his right continues the story. The story ends when the last player discards his last card. If a player manages to say something very witty, or clever, or profound, or poetic, or funny, or memorable, the other players may award him one or more Story points. At the end of the story, the player with the most Story points wins.

OPTIONAL RULES Players may deduct Story points for poor performances. A player may at any time deduct a Story point to discard a card & draw a new one. For a longer story, players draw 7 cards instead of 5.

THE FIRST BALKAN WAR INTRODUCTION Wargame for 4 players. Simulates the first Balkan War in 1912. One player is the Ottoman Turks. The other 3 players are the members of the Balkan League: Serbia, Bulgaria, and Greece.

VICTORY The player with the most Victory points at the end of the game wins. The game ends after 24 turns.

COUNTER SET Use counters to represent Divisions. Each Division represents 10,000 men. Country: Divisions Ottomans 24 Bulgaria 11 Greece 10 Serbia 11 The Serbian Army includes one division of Montenegro Guerillas. Other Counter types needed: Control, Casualty, Movement, Battle.

THE MAP Players will have to make their own map. (I'm waiting for someone to make a map) Divide up the map into squares or hexes. There are several terrain types. Terrain: MP DP VP Mountains 2 1 1 Plains 1 0 1 Towns 1 1 2 Cities 1 2 5 Fortifications 2 3 3 MP = Movement point cost to enter. DP = Defending Divisions add this to their Battle Roll. VP = Victory Points for controlling this space at the end of the game. To control a space you must have a control marker on it. Rivers cost 1 MP point to cross. A unit that has to rout across a river or into a mountain is destroyed. Divisions may travel on Railroads for 1 MP per 4 spaces.

SETUP League Divisions are concentrated on their borders. Turkish Divisions are scattered throughout Albania, Macedonia, and Thrace.

1974

TURN SEQUENCE Draw Phase Event Phase Attack Phase End Phase

DRAW PHASE Each League member draws 5 cards. The Ottoman player draws 10 cards. If the deck runs out shuffle the discard and draw from it.

ATTACK PHASE Each player makes 2 piles: A Movement Pile and a Battle Pile. Place any of your cards with Movement points into your Movement Pile. Discard these cards and take a corresponding number of movement point tokens. For example: if a card was worth 2 Movement points you would take 2 tokens. Place any of your cards with Battle points into your Battle Pile. Discard these cards and take a corresponding number of Battle point tokens. A player may play cards for tokens at any time during the turn. Each player rolls 1D6. This is the initiative roll. Highest roll moves his divisions first. Divisions may not stack. To move a Division, pay the needed number of Movement point tokens. Place one of your control markers on any space you enter. (Remove Opponents) League members may not attack each other. To attack an adjacent enemy Division, discard one Battle Point token. To resolve the Battle the attacking and defending players each roll 1D6. Before rolling, players may discard Battle points to increase their totals by +1 per token. (up to 3 tokens max) Defenders also get Terrain bonuses. Get +1 if another division already attacked the enemy division this turn. Get –1 for every Casualty counter on your division. Get +1 for every one of your divisions adjacent to the enemy division. The Division with the highest total wins. The loser rolls on the Casualty Table:

THE GREAT TRAVELING CIRCUS GAME INTRODUCTION Each player is the owner of a traveling circus.

GAME BOARD AND PIECES Use a monopoly game board. Also use the monopoly pawns, money, houses, and hotels. (But not the cards) Six sided dice are needed.

END GAME The game ends when the last card is drawn from the Act Deck. Alternate ending: When the Lead player goes around 15 times.

WINNING The player with the most money at the end of the game wins.

THE DECK The game uses a novel set of cards called the act deck. The deck contains one of each of the cards in the Card List. Each card represents a Carnival/Circus Act. There are 4 types of acts: Acrobats, Clowns, Animals, and Freaks. Do not use any of the Monopoly cards.

SETUP Each player picks a pawn to represent their circus. Pawns are placed on the starting space. Each player gets $200 All other money is kept in the Bank. Each player gets 4 cards from the Act Deck. Each player also has a Ringmaster. The Ringmaster counts as an Act, but not any of the 4 types, and cannot be stolen or lost. Players should name their Circus. Players roll high on 1D6 to determine turn order. The winner of the turn order contest is known as the Lead Player.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. On your turn roll 1D6 and move your pawn that many spaces forward. If you land on another player you may steal one random Act card from him. If you land on a city with no time markers you may perform. Get $10 for every act you own when you perform. Three Ring Bonus: For every 3 cards of the same type you have earn an extra $10 when performing. After performing put 1D6-2 (Maximum = 3) time markers on the city you just performed at. If you land on a city with any Time markers on it, you may not perform there.

1978

Use houses to represent time counters. One Hotel = Three Time Counters. Players must stop on the Start space when they reach it. Every time the Lead player lands on the Start space remove one time counter from all cities. When a player lands on the Start space he must pay each of his Acts $10. A player must discard any Acts he cannot pay. If your pawn lands on a railroad, pay 1D6 x $10 to the Bank. If your pawn lands on a utility or luxury tax pay 1D6 x $10 to Free Parking. If your pawn lands on Free Parking take the money there. If your pawn lands on Go to Jail put one of your Acts in Jail. If your pawn lands on Jail take one of the Acts there. If you land on a space that allows you to draw a card then draw and keep one Act card. If you visit all the cities in a colored region get a one time bonus of 2D6 x $10. (Keep tract of cities visited with colored chips, or on paper) If you visit all the cities on a side get a one time bonus of 2D6 x $10. If you visit all the cities in the game get a one time bonus of 5D6 x $10.

The Interface of Time Science Fiction Miniature Game By C. Gerard Luft

Legal This game is based off of the short story A Prayer Answered Just in Time published in Gateway Science Fiction Magazine. The Interface of Time, Virtue and Kris Maynard are copyright © 2002 C. Gerard Luft. Their inclusion herein is happily granted to Warpspawn Games. The game mechanics herein are derived from the Open Gaming License of the D20 Systems Reference Document.

Overview Nestled in the six extra dimensions of the Calabi-Yau Manifold (which is a plane higher than the four spatial dimensions of Hyperspace) every event in space in time meets with the Interface. Interface of Time is a great ten dimensional construct which consists of archways that lead to any world at any point in that planet’s history. Humans can only perceive the first three spatial dimensions of the Interface. Thus it allegorically appears to them as a contemplative cloister with seemingly endless arcades leading forth from a monumental courtyard. In this game one player plays the mysterious Virtue and his human friends. The other player plays the infamous Vice and his company of evil time travelers.

Victory Conditions The goal is to control the Interface. The only way to do this is to defeat each opponent miniature.

D20 You will need a twenty sided die in order to play this skirmish game.

Miniatures Each character listed below has suggested miniatures listed that would ideally represent the character. But there is nothing wrong with using good “old fashioned” counters instead of miniatures.

Map You can obtain a map of the Interface of Time for use as your game board at:

1986

The

http://www.angelfire.com/games4/doctorwhoeyespy/tiot.JPG If you can not reach it by this link, copy and paste the URL directly to your browser. Starting Positions If you are using the map you can place each band on one of the “x” in the Interface’s arcades. Alternatively, if you have a 30 sided die, you can randomly place each warband by rolling 1d30 for the x-axis, and 1d30 for the y-axis. One square equals five feet.

Tabletop Alternatively you can use a 15” by 15” area to represent the courtyard, the heart of the Interface. Movement and ranges listed can easily be converted from grid to inches (example, Virtue’s movement of 12 squares becomes 12 “). If you are not using the map each warband should be placed on opposite sides of the 15”x15” battlefield. Figures can be set up from the edge of the battlefield to 4” in from the edge.

The Round 1. Initiative: Each player rolls 2. 1d20. The highest roll has 3. initiative and can move on of the miniatures first.

Reroll ties.

2. The Turn: Starting with the player 3. who won initiative and then alternating between the two players, each 4. miniature gets to take a turn. a. Movement: The miniature may move up to their speed. b. Melee Attack: If the miniatures movement brings it base to base with an opponent miniature, that miniature can attack its target. i. Roll 1d20 and add your melee attack score to the die roll. If it is equal or greater than the opponent’s Armor score, then it is a hit. ii. The opponent receives damage equal to your Melee Damage score. This damage is removed from the opponent’s Health score. If any creature’s health falls to 0 or less it is defeated and removed from the game. c. Range Attack: If the miniatures movement brings it within Range of an opponent miniature, that miniature can attack its target. However the miniature can not make a ranged attack if it already made a melee attack during its turn. i. Roll 1d20 and add your range attack score to the die roll. If it is equal or greater than the opponent’s Armor score, then it is a hit. ii. The opponent receives damage equal to your Ranged Damage score. This damage is removed from the opponent’s Health score. If any creature’s health falls to 0 or less it is defeated and removed from the game. iii. Save: If an opponent miniature is hit by either Virtue’s or the Dragon of Oltan’s ranged attack, it is allowed a Saving Throw

1987

in order to take half damage from a successful hit: 1. The miniature rolls 1d20 and adds its Save score to the roll. If the modified roll is equal to or greater than attacker’s Ranged DC than it takes half as much damage.

THE QUEST FOR ISCANDAR SYNOPSIS (Referenced from Teklords site) In the year 2199, Earth is under attack from an alien race called the Gamilons. Gamilon planet bombs covered the earth with a deadly radioactive pollution and the surface of the earth is now unlivable. All life on Earth has moved underground. But even there, far below the earth's surface, the deadly radiation poisoning is beginning to reach them. Now all life on Earth has just one year left to live. But there is hope. On the planet Iscandar, there is a machine called the Cosmo DNA which can remove the radioactivity and restore Earth to it's natural state. The Star Force must travel 148,000 light years and back in just one earth year or all life on Earth will become extinct. But the Gamilons are determined to stop the Star Force at all costs.

The Persian may attack with additional cards with a force value of greater than zero. Add up the force value of all of these cards and multiply by the number of Strategy cards played +1. You cannot play 2 strategy cards of the same type. This number is the Total Persian Force Value. All cards used in the Attack are discarded. The Greek may defend with at least one card with a force value of greater than zero. Add up the force value of all of these cards and multiply by the number of Strategy cards played +1.

2006

You cannot play 2 strategy cards of the same type. This number is the Total Greek Force Value. All cards used in the Defense are discarded. Subtract the Total Greek Force Value from the Total Persian Force Value. If the result is positive, this, divided by 10, is the number of Greek tokens lost.

PERSIAN VICTORY If all of the Greek troops are killed than the Persians win.

GREEK VICTORY If the Persian player goes to draw a card and there are no cards left in his deck and the Greek player still has troops remaining, than the Persians give up and go home, and the Greeks win.

In other words, is a round determined by going through the entire deck? Or does a round simply involve the 10 cards dealt out with no replentishment? A-Just the 10 cards not the entire deck. Q-as players take cards, do they discard any? I'm guessing they keep all of them until the end of the Round. A-Keep them until the end of the round.

This is the Combat Roll: 1-4 The Disadvantaged side has one unit destroyed. 5-6 The Advantaged side has one unit destroyed. If both sides have equal Force Totals the combat roll results are 1-3 and 4-6. A player decides which of his units are destroyed. The unit is removed from play. Any cards attached to a destroyed unit are discarded. Continue making combat rolls until one side is eliminated, or both sides want to stop.

TLATELOLCO INTRODUCTION Tlatelolco was the great market for the Aztec Empire. The Aztecs had no coins; so all trade was by barter. Players are pochteca (merchants) trying to acquire certain goods.

VICTORY Be the first player to acquire one unit of each of your six target goods.

THE BOARD Use a chess board. Merchant stands are located on the black squares. There are no stands in the corner squares or the center four squares. The center four squares is the great temple.

PAWNS Each player has a pawn to represent their pochteca. There is also a thief pawn. Six sided dice are needed.

COUNTERS Counters represent goods available in the market. There are 2 sets of counters: The Sellers Set The Sellers Set contains one counter of each type described in the Goods counter list. The Buyers Set The Buyers Set contains two counters of each type described in the Goods counter list.

SETUP Each player places his pawn in a corner square. The thief pawn starts in a red space adjacent to the great temple. Each player draws one random counter from the Sellers set. The player writes down the name of the trade good and returns the counter to the set. A player starts with 20 units of that type of good. (This is that players export good) Players then, in turn, each draw 6 counters from the sellers set, write down the item names, and Return the counters to the set. (redraw if you drew your export good) These six goods are the player’s target goods. On each Merchant stand, place one random counter from the Sellers set. Players roll high to see who goes first. On each Merchant stand, place two random counters from the Buyers set.

PLAYER TURNS & MOVING Players take turns. On your turn roll one die. You may move your pawn that many number of spaces. Pawns cannot move into or through the Temple spaces or the thief pawn. Pawns may enter Black & Red spaces and spaces occupied by other players pawns.

2039

Pawns may move diagonally and orthogonally. If you enter a Merchant stand space your turn automatically ends. If you end your move on a red space, roll on the red space roll table.

TRADING When you land on a merchant stand you may trade with it. The merchant only has one good to trade away (the seller counter) and will Only trade for two types of goods (the 2 buyer counters). Goods are traded on an equal unit for unit basis. Write down what goods you have after trading. Stands never run out of their trade good, and their thirst for the other 2 goods never lessens.

THE THIEF If you ever roll a 1 when moving your pawn, roll a second time. This second roll is the Thief roll. Move the thief exactly that number of spaces (if at all possible) in a straight line (orthogonal or diagonal). The thief does not stop for anything but the temple. If the thief lands on an opponent’s pawn that player looses 1 unit of any one good (your choice).

PLAYER TRADES Players with pawns in the same space may trade freely.

TRAVELLER TRADERS By C Gerard Luft

A SOLO CARD AND DICE GAME OF TRADING IN THE IMPERIUM INTRODUCTION In this one player game you play the Captain and crew of the FREE TRADER BEOWULF. The Goal is to profit 73 Mega Credits (i.e., 73,000,000Credits), which is just enough to but a SUBSIDIZED LINER and become a Merchant Prince. But in the 1350th year of the GALACTIC EMPIRE, this great utopian civilization of Humanity is far from civilized. Trading in the Spinward Marches Sector, even close to its ducal capital REGINA, can still be dangerous.

SET UP You will need to make three decks of cards: TRADER DECK (which you start with all five cards of), ENCOUNTER DECK, MERCHANDISE DECK, and STARSHIP DECK. You will also need some six sided dice (d6). You begin with all the cards from the TRADER DECK: FREE TRADER BEOWULF, CAPTAIN, FIRST OFFICER, SECOND OFFICER, and THIRD OFFICER. Players begin with 1,000,000Cr at the start of the game to purchase their first cargo.

POWER 3 2 1 0 2

BUY AND SELL! ROUND PURCHASE PROSPECTING TURN You must first find merchandise to buy, so you can sell it at the next planet for profit (The game begins on the PLANET REGINA). You obtain merchandise from a PATRON. Draw cards from the ENCOUNTER DECK until you draw a PATRON CARD.

FIRST COMBAT TURN All the cards you drew before reaching the PATRON you must battle (Space Ports can be a dangerous place). Your Captain and Crew may battle one card at a time, unless more than one of like cards are drawn. In that case they battle together. If the ENCOUNTER DECK runs out, reshuffle its Discard Pile.

2053

" ENCOUNTERS ATTACK FIRST: The each opponent chooses a target. They select targets in the following pattern: CAPTAIN, 1ST OFFICER, 2ND OFFICER and 3RD

OFFICER. " Each OPPONENT rolls 4d6 and adds its POWER to the roll. The CAPTAIN OR CREW who is targeted rolls 4d6 and adds their power to the total. If the ATTACKER'S score is greater than the DEFENDER'S score, then the defender is defeated (and dying; blasters (Fusion Pulse Guns) cause a lot of damage). If the 3RD OFFICER is present and active at that point of the battle, he can stabilize that officer's wounds, and prevent him from being defeated (dying; though he is inactive for 1 week, which is explained below). " The surviving CAPTAIN and CREW may now be the attackers. Each Crew surviving and present targets one opponent (They may choose to attack the same opponent as well). The ATTACKERS roll 4d6 and add their POWER to the roll. The DEFENDERS roll 4d6 and add their POWER to the roll. If the ATTACKER'S modified rolls are greater that the DEFENDER'S modified rolls, that the target hit is defeated. " If opponents remain, then the COMBAT TURN is repeated until all the opponents in that battle are defeated, or the CAPTAIN and CREW are defeated (at which time the game is over). " DEFEATED CHARACTERS: OPPONENTS are discarded and defeated CAPTAIN or OFFICER is removed from the game. If both the CAPTAIN and 1ST OFFICER are removed, then the game is over. " INACTIVE CHARACTERS: Characters who were defeated but saved by the 3rd Officer are inactive. The other Officers may still deal with the PATRON. If the CAPTAIN and his 1ST OFFICER are both inactive then there is no one to pilot the FREE TRADER. The surviving Officers are effectively grounded. " HEALING: An Inactive Character becomes active again when they reach planet fall on the next planet. If the FREE TRADER is grounded, then the CAPTAIN and 1ST OFFICER are active again after the player draws 7 more ENCOUNTER CARDS (repeating the COMBAT TURN if necessary).

PURCHASE TURN After all the OPPONENTS are defeated, the surviving and present officers may conduct the deal with the PATRON. Draw a card from the MERCHANDISE DECK. This is the merchandise available. Using the two tables below, roll a 4d6. Subtract from the roll the POWER of the highest officer present. Multiply this by the BASE PRICE OF THE MERCHANDISE. This is the price the PATRON requires for the merchandise. If you do not have enough Credits for the merchandise, or the price is too much to pay, then draw cards from the encounter deck to find a new PATRON and battle any OPPONENTS drawn.

SPACE TURN The Beowulf has a HYPERSPACE JUMP FACTOR of 1, so its path through the subsector is limited. Below is a text flow chart of the Hyperspace Jump course of your Ship. REGINA -> HELFRY -> FORBOLDN -> KNORBES -> WHANGO -> UAKE -> EFATE ->ALELL -> WHANGO -> KNORBES -> FORBOLDN -> HELFRY -> REGINA It is easy cruising at sublight maneuver speed out of a system you have been at a week, and making the Hyperspace Jump to your next destination. The tricky part is exiting Hyperspace into the next system's space. Bounty hunters, mercenaries and space pirates could be waiting for you (and they probably will). So when coming out of Hyperspace into the next system, you must draw one card from the STARSHIP DECK and battle it. " You have a "souped up" Free Trader and a 1st Officer with a keen eye, so you get to attack first in space. Roll 4d6 and add the Beowulf's POWER to the roll. Then roll for the opponent's ship and add their POWER to the roll. If your modified roll is higher than their modified roll, you cause one hit to their ship. " Now the step above is repeated with the opponent's ship as the attacker and the Beowulf as the defender. " DAMAGE: On the first hit received the ship is sided (rotated 90 degrees) and receives a -1 to POWER.. On the second hit received the ship is inversed and receives -2 to its POWER. On the third hit received it is dead in space

2055

and defeated. If the Beowulf is defeated, then the game is over. " REPAIRS: OPPONENT ships repair 1 hit if they do not receive any damage for three consecutive turns. If the 2ND OFFICER is active and present, the Beowulf repairs 1 hit if it does not receive any damage for two consecutive turns (because your 2nd Officer is a top class engineer)! If the 2nd Officer is inactive or defeated, the Beowulf has no one to repair her.

SECOND COMBAT TURN This is the same as the FIRST COMBAT TURN except you are now on another planet.

SALE TURN This is the same as the PURCHASE TURN except when you roll the 4d6 to figure the actual price the PATRON will BUY this merchandise from you you ADD the POWER of the highest ranking officer present (the higher the more the profit).

2056

It's time to

CARD DECKS You have a SUBSIDIZED MERCHANT (with a POWER of 3 instead of 2) . And you will not need a MERCHANDISE DECK (people are coming to you now to cart around their cargo). And you will not need the ENCOUNTER DECK (no need to leave the comfort of your new Captain's Cabin between HYPERSPACE JUMPS).

ROUND SEQUENCE HYPERSPACE JUMP TURN Each Round you receive 873,000 Cr for middle passage and low passage accomidations and 200 tons of cargo transport to the next planet. Leaving the star system you are at at sublight speed and making the Jump to Hyperspace is uneventful. But when coming out of Hyperspace into the destination system's space, you must draw 1 card from the STARSHIP CARD DECK (no changes to this deck)

SPACE COMBAT TURN This is done exactly as it is in TRAVELLER TRADERS. This Simplified round is repeated for each Jump to a new system. If you want to expand beyond the course plotted above (which is limited to the Regine Subsector) you can adapt other maps of the SPINWARD MARCHES for your course. Because you still have a HYPERSPACE JUMP FACTOR of only 1, and because Subsidized Liners gain more profit with parsec to parsec transport, the coure you set should be between star systems one parsec from each other. Try it! It's a beautiful senic route around this corner of the Imperium.

WINNING You win when you have accumulated another 73 MCr (time to build a merchant fleet).

TREASURE HUNTER ALTERNATE RULES INTRODUCTION Board & Movement elements added. 2-4 players.

OBJECT After All treasures have been claimed, the player with the most Treasure points wins the game.

THE DECKS The cards will be divided into 4 decks: Location Deck: Location Cards Treasure Deck: Magic Items & Treasure cards. Guardian Deck: Guardian cards. Adventure Deck: Heroes, Spell, And Event cards.

BOARD & BOARD SETUP Use a 5 X 5 grid as the board. Each space must be large enough to hold a stack of cards. The 4 corner spaces are empty. These are home spaces. Each player controls 1 home space. Into the remaining 21 spaces: Place 1 random Location card face up. Place 1 random Guardian card face down. Place 1 random Treasure/Magic Item card face down.

PAWNS The Adventuring parties are represented by pawns. Each player has 1 pawn. An Adventuring party may contain up to 4 Heroes.

SETUP Roll high on 1D6 to determine turn order. Each players pawn starts in its owners home (corner) space.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. The player whose turn it is, is the active player. Each turn has 6 phases: 1 Draw phase 2 Recruit phase 3 Movement phase 4 Adventure phase 5 Recovery phase 6 Discard phase

2058

DRAW PHASE Active Player draws 1 card from the Adventure Deck. If the deck runs out shuffle the discard and draw from it.

RECRUIT PHASE If a player's pawn is in his home space, that player may play any Heroes in his hand to his 'Adventuring Party'. The party may contain up to 4 Heroes. Heroes in the party are placed face up on the table. They are in play. Spell cards may be attached face down to mages, priests and heroes with spell levels. A Hero can attach a number of spell cards equal to his spell level. Spell cards may be attached regardless of pawn location. Heroes may exchange magic items but not spells.

TREASURES & MAGIC ITEMS Each player has a treasure pile. Treasures go to treasure piles as soon as they are found. Magic items are attached to Heroes as soon as they are found. Heroes can receive the benefit of only one weapon at a time.

MOVEMENT PHASE Move your Pawn (Adventuring Party) 1D6 spaces. Moves must be orthogonal. Alternatively you can automatically move your party back to your home space. If you enter a space that contains a guardian or an opposing pawn, you must stop. You cannot move your pawn into an opponent's home space. If all Heroes in a party are killed, the pawn is moved back to its home space.

ADVENTURE PHASE This occurs if a party is in the same space as a guardian, or enemy party. Flip the Guardian Face up. Determine the Guardian value. The guardian value is equal to: The Guardians CBT (Combat) score + Location bonuses + 2D6. Any opponent may play appropriate event cards to increase the Guardian value. If the Guardian is a mage or priest any opponent may play a spell card from his hand. Compare the guardian value to the party value. The party value is equal to: The CBT (Combat) score of all Heroes + special bonuses + 2D6. The active player may play appropriate event cards to increase the Party value. Spell casting heroes may each play one of their attached spells. Events & Spells are discarded as soon as they are used unless otherwise specified. Some spells and events cause the party to retreat. A retreating party immediately goes back to its home space. If the Guardian value is greater than the Party value, the party is defeated. A Defeated party receives 1D6 hits distributed by the active player. A defeated party immediately retreats to its home space. Any Hero reduced to 0 Hits is killed (discarded). Heroes cannot be given more hits than will reduce them to 0 unless the hero has Martyr ability. If the Guardian value is equal or less than the Party value, the party keeps the Treasure and the party receives only (1D6 - 3) hits. The active player gets to put the Treasure in his treasure pile. If the treasure is a magic item, it may be attached to a hero present that can use it. Excess magic items may be carried. If the guardian is defeated, discard the Guardian card. Magic items may be recovered from dead heroes by surviving party members only if the

2059

party won the adventure. If two parties occupy the same space they will fight, each determining its Party Value by the process described above. The victorious party suffers (1D6-3) hits. The defeated party suffers 1D6 hits and must retreat to its home space. If the defeated party is wiped out, the winners may recover their Magic Items. Non-home spaces that do not have Guardians are considered to be empty.

RECOVERY PHASE All Heroes in the active players party heal one Hit point of Damage. Heroes heal two hit points of Damage if they are in their Home Space.

DISCARD PHASE The player may move cards from his party into his hand. A player must discard down to 7 cards in his hand.

CARD CHANGES Do not use the "Party Encounter, Double Trouble, Second Guardian, or Monty Haul cards. Pandoras Box- Discard to place 1D6 unused Guardians from Guardian deck onto target empty spaces. Maximum 1 guardian per space. Happy Hunting- Take an extra Move and Adventure phase. Lost- Your opponent may not move or adventure this turn. Play in his move phase.

TREASURE HUNTER DUNGEON RULES by Gottardo Zancani [email protected]

MAPPING Add 8 "Road cards" to the Location card deck. The group starts on a central location and they draw new location cards to be put adjacent to the current location. If the first card is a Road you can draw another card; similarly if you the first area you enter is a Road you can move to a second location. There is only a layout special rule: you cannot position 4 cards so that they create a 2x2 rectangle. When you are on a Location (not Road) you can decide to explore it (usual guardian/treasure procedure). An Explored Location is turned face down and cannot be Explored again TH Expansion I: Dungeon To add more "depth" to the game i've also imagined that on certains Locations (Dungeons of course) you can start a side Exploration using a separate mini-deck, the Dungeon Deck. The basic premise of the Dungeon is the following: Guardians are tougher but for each one you get 2 treasures. A Dungeon mini-deck is composed of the following cards:

CONNECTIONS Corridor(7x) Empty Exit(2x) Empty ROOMS (every room has a basic CBT modifier for ALL guardians) Torture Room All guardians CBT+2; Underground Treasure Room All guardians CBT+2; 5 Treasures; draw 2 Guardians Library All guardians CBT+2 Empty Room (3x) All guardians CBT+1 Dormitory All guardians CBT+2 Cell(3x) All guardians CBT+2; Humanoid CBT +3 Cavern (2x) Underground; All guardians CBT+4 Trap Room (3x) 1d6-1 Hits - avoid on 8+ on 2D6 (+2 if a Thief is on the party) Crypt All guardians CBT+2 ; Undead CBT +3 Weapon Room All guardians CBT+2; Weapon CBT +3 Temple All guardians CBT+2; Spirits and Demon CBT+3

EVENTS Dead party (2x) Collect 1 Treasure Ceiling Collapse(2x) 1d6-3 hits You can leave the Dungeon if you're on a Exit card (not mandatory) if the mini-deck is exausted (mandatory). When a party leave the Dungeon the mini-deck is reshuffled. Return to Treasure Hunter Return toTreasure Hunter Map Rules

SOLITAIRE RULES Setup: Take event cards out of the deck. Draw a full hand. Discard location, treasure, and guardian cards. Play all Hero cards. Do not attach magic items. Redraw and discard until you have 4 heroes out and a full hand. Play: Draw one card at a time If it is a Location card, this becomes your new location. Discard the old one. If it is a Hero, Spell or Magic item, you may put it in your hand. If it is a Treasure, you may put it directly into your treasure pile. If it is a Guardian, your party must immediately confront it. You loose if at any time you have no heroes in play. You win if you are able to get all the way through the deck. Rule modifications: Ignore any card instructions that allow you to draw more than one card per turn. Ignore any card instructions that allow you to meddle with an opponents hand or cards.

THE MCP DECK The MCP deck has 4 types of cards: Control (Needed to Win) Games (Used to Destroy Programs on the Game Grid) Security (Used to Destroy Programs off the Game Grid) Sub-Routines (Special Effects)

MCP OBJECTIVES The MCP wins when all 10 Control cards have been downloaded (put into play).

TRON OBJECTIVES Tron wins by Derezzing (Deresolution = Destroy) the MCP in Program Delete Phase.

SETUP Both players start with a hand of 6 cards. The Tron player may call a Mulligan and redraw if he has no Program cards.

PROGRAM STATUS Important concept to game play. The Tron player controls Programs (characters) such as Tron, Flynn, Ram, etc.

2068

Depending on their location and experiences the ‘status’ of the programs will change. Use dice, coins or markers to represent status changes. The normal progression of Status is as follows: Game Grid à Rogue à Activated à Mesa Certain phases of the turn sequence only apply to programs with the indicated status.

TURN SEQUENCE There are 8 phases in each turn: Data Input Phase Program Execute Phase Game Grid Phase System Escape Phase User Interface Phase File Transfer Phase Program Delete Phase Sub-Routine Phase

DATA INPUT PHASE Each player draws 2 cards. If a deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it. Max hand size is 8 cards. Discard excess cards.

PROGRAM EXECUTE PHASE The MCP may download (put into play) one Control card. The Tron player may download one Program (Character). Program and Control cards remain in play face-up on the table. (Note: all other types of cards are discarded when played) Programs start in Game Grid Status. Exceptions: In order to download Flynn (a User) the Tron player must also play (discard) a ‘Matter Transform Sequence’ card. Clu when downloaded starts in Rogue Status. Yori may be downloaded in Rogue status if Tron is currently in Rogue status. Uniqueness Rule: You may only have one Program of one type in Play at a time. (You can’t have 2 copies of Tron out at once)

GAME GRID PHASE Skip this phase if there are no programs with Game Grid Status in play. The MCP may play a Game card. The Game card has a Power Level (number). The Tron player may counter the Game card by playing Skill cards with total Power Level that is equal to or higher than the power level of the game card. If the Tron player does not counter the Game card, then one program with Game grid status is derezzed (discarded).

SYSTEM ESCAPE PHASE Skip this phase if there are no programs with Game Grid Status in play. The Tron player may play one ‘Escape’ type card. This changes the status of all Game Grid programs to Rogue status. The MCP may play a Security card. The Security card has a Power Level (number). The Tron player may counter the Security card by playing Skill cards with total Power Level that is equal to or higher than the power level of the Security card. If the Tron player does not counter the Security card, then one program with Rogue status is derezzed (discarded).

2069

USER INTERFACE PHASE Skip this phase if there are no programs with Rogue Status in play. The Tron player may play one ‘Activation’ type card. This changes the status of all Rogue programs to Activated status. The MCP may play a Security card. The Security card has a Power Level (number). The Tron player may counter the Security card by playing Skill cards with total Power Level that is equal to or higher than the power level of the Security card. If the Tron player does not counter the Security card, then one program with Activated status is derezzed (discarded).

FILE TRANSFER PHASE Skip this phase if there are no programs with Activated Status in play. The Tron player may play one ‘Transport’ type card. This changes the status of all Activated programs to Mesa status. The MCP may play a Security card. The Security card has a Power Level (number). The Tron player may counter the Security card by playing Skill cards with total Power Level that is equal to or higher than the power level of the Security card. If the Tron player does not counter the Security card, then one program with Mesa status is derezzed (discarded).

PROGRAM DELETE PHASE Skip this phase if there are no programs with Mesa Status in play. The MCP may play a Security card. The Security card has a Power Level (number). The Tron player may counter the Security card by playing Skill cards with total Power Level that is equal to or higher than the power level of the Security card. If the Tron player does not counter the Security card, then one program with Mesa status is derezzed (discarded). Only if the Tron player has defeated the Security card, he may now discard one last Skill card. This erases the MCP and Tron wins.

SUB-ROUTINE PHASE Play Sub-routine cards in this phase unless otherwise instructed by the card.

The War in Heaven By: Sir Gerard Luft

Setting A long time ago, in a Universe far, far away, a race who had tyrannically ruled time and space in their Universe had to face the premature end of their Continuum. The end of the Universe was prompted by a powerful being known as Dionysus. Dionysus and some of his comrades escaped into the next Universe, which was an Antiverse to their original home. That Antiverse is our own present universe. The Virtuous Dionysus, his comrades from the previous Universe and righteous Empire at the end of time strive to protect our Universe from the invasion of the previous Time/ Space Continuum’s natives. Led by the mysterious Time’s Champion, the Exousia and Arche are struggling to establish a beachhead in our Universe (their Antiverse) from which they can write themselves into our Time Continuum’s history. Only Dionysus, the Empress, Archaggelos, Malak’s, and Clade, can prevent the self proclaimed Time’s Champion, the Imperiatrix, the Exousia, Arche and Shed from conquering our Time/ Space Continuum.

Rules This game follows the basic “Magic the Gathering” rules, which can be found at: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=magic/rules/newplayer,,en An “Official” MTG Solitaire play rules are available at: http://www.wizards.com/duelist/Issue_34/HouseRules.html The Time Cards in this game serve as “generic” land cards. One player assumes the role of Dionysus, while the other plays Time’s Champion.

Cards The link below provides all the cards nessesary for play. Dionysus has the blue border cards with the blue Time Cards, and Time’s Champion uses the red bordered cards and red Time Cards. Each side will need one of each of the cards provided that match their color. Additionally each player will need 14 Time Cards of his color.

Troll Treasures A game by Jason Newell, for 1-4 players A band of Elven adventurers have got it into their heads to have a competition, to see who is the most talented Treasure Hunter of the lot. To this end, they decide to infiltrate the nearby troll caves, known for the ample treasures within, and filch the treasures. Completely unaware of the competition, the trolls are obviously surprised by the band of elven intruders swanning about in their caves, and understandably they are a little miffed. It is a race against time to amass enough treasure and get out before the trolls clobber you into oblivion!

Components 1 playing piece and stat card for each elf 1 playing piece and stat card for each troll 1D8 49 wound tokens 24 arrow tokens 24 mana tokens 6 wall pieces 2 magic door pieces 3 sorcerer markers 3 quiver of arrows marker 3 magic potion markers The Search Deck The Board (The board should consist of at least 10 irregular sized rooms, a minimum of 4x4 spaces, connected by corridors 1 space wide. Eight of the rooms have a number in them, 1-8, in the centre space of the room, or in a space as near to it as possible. On each board edge there should be an entrance/exit that does not have a clear line of sight to a room. Each space should ideally be 1”x1”)

Object To be the first player to find five treasures and get out before the trolls pummel you into a pulp.

Set Up Each player chooses one of the four elven adventurers: Tanlya, Argis, Lightfingers or Zephyr. They take their elf’s stat card, 6 arrow, wound and magic tokens, and put their playing piece at one of the entrances of the board. Then players roll a D8 for each troll, placing them on the number in the rolled room, and take it in turns to place the wall pieces. A wall piece cannot be placed so that it blocks a player’s path into a room at the start of the game. Players then roll to determine who goes first (whoever rolls the highest).

The Turn Each player takes it in turn to move their elf and make their actions, going clockwise around the board. After each player has had a turn, it becomes the Trolls’ turn. Once the trolls have acted, then the turn goes back to the first player, and so on. Each elf has a stat card, which lists their different statistics: Wounds: How much damage the elf can take before its player is out of

2078

the game. Arrows: How many times an elf can shoot its bow Mana: How many times an elf can use its magic Speed: How many spaces an elf may move in its turn Magic: What an elf needs to roll equal to or over to use magic Bow: What an elf needs to roll equal to or over to fire its bow Find: What an elf needs to roll equal to or over to successfully search a room An Elf may move any number of spaces in its turn up to its Speed rating. It may fire its bow or use its magic at any point in its move. Searching is the last thing an elf does in its turn. Wall pieces cannot be moved through. You cannot move through a space occupied by a troll or another elf.

Firing a Bow An elf can shoot its bow at any troll it can draw a clear line of sight to. Corners block line of sight. The bow cannot be used if the elf is in a space adjacent to a troll. The player rolls the dice. If the score is equal or greater than their Bow rating, then they hit the troll, who discards a wound token. If they roll lower, then they have missed. Either way, that player must discard an arrow token. If a player has no arrow tokens, then they cannot use the bow.

Using Magic Magic can be used in two ways: stunning a troll, or moving a wall piece. Stunning a troll: An elf can use its magic on any troll it can draw a clear line of sight to. Corners block line of sight. The player rolls the dice. If the score is equal or greater than their Magic rating, then they hit the troll, who is stunned (taking no action in the next troll phase). If they roll lower, then nothing happens. Either way, that player must discard a mana token. Moving a wall piece: If the player’s elf is adjacent to a wall piece they can use magic to move it. The player rolls the dice. If the score is equal or greater than their Magic rating, then they can move the wall piece to any other viable space. If they roll lower, then nothing happens. Either way, that player must discard a mana token. If a player has no mana tokens, then they cannot use magic.

Searching At the end of their move, an elf may search. Searching can only be done if the elf ends its move in a room, not a corridor, and if there is no troll in a line of sight. An elf cannot search the same room twice in a row, whether they find something or not. The player rolls the dice. If the score is equal or greater than their Find rating, then they draw a card from the search deck. If it is a treasure card, add it to your stack. Otherwise, do what the card says, discarding it afterwards. If there are no cards left in the search deck, reshuffle and re-use the discard pile. If they roll lower, then nothing happens. Once an elf has five treasure cards, they must try to escape by moving to the entrance space they started in.

The Troll Phase Once every player has had a turn, it becomes the troll phase. The trolls act in this turn order: Grall, Tibor, Vries, Brion. Each troll has a stat card which lists their different statistics: Wounds: How many wounds a troll can take before being removed from the

2079

game Thump: What a troll needs to roll equal to or over to hit an elf Brains: What a troll needs to roll equal to or over to pass a stupidity test Speed: How many spaces a troll can move in their turn At the beginning of their turn, a troll must make a stupidity test. If they can draw a line of sight to an elf, then they DO NOT take a test, they instead move towards that elf by the most direct route. If there is more than one, then the troll moves towards the closest. If there is more than one the same distance away, then determine randomly which one the troll will move towards. Roll a dice for the troll. If the score is equal or greater than their Brains rating, then they move towards the nearest elf. If there is more than one the same distance away, then determine randomly which one the troll will move towards. If they roll less, then roll on the Stupidity Table: 1-2: Move troll away from nearest elf 3-5: Dawdle: troll does nothing this turn 6-7: Move troll towards the nearest elf at half their speed, rounding down. 8: Uses Tunnels: The troll gets bored and uses their secret tunnels. Roll the dice and place the troll in the space rolled. If a troll lands in a space adjacent to an elf, at any time, then they will try to thump that elf. If they land next to more than one elf, then they try to thump both of them. Roll once for each elf they are trying to thump. If the score is equal or greater than their Thump rating, then they hit the elf, who must discard 1 wound token and 1 treasure card, if they have any. If they roll lower, then nothing happens. Once every troll has had a turn, it goes back to the elves turns.

Moving Wall Pieces Wall pieces are moved by using magic, if they are hit by the mine cart, or by drawing a Move Wall card. A wall piece can be moved to ay space so long as there is a wall on either side of the wall piece. Basically, this means that wall pieces cannot be placed in rooms, intersections or corners.

Magic Doors At a cost of 1 movement, an elf may move on to a magic door and move instantly to the other magic door. An elf cannot end its movement on a magic door. Trolls will not use the magic door, as they are scared of it/too dumb to use it. If the Magic Door card is redrawn, then that player may move the doors to different locations.

Mine Cart Any troll hit by an elf in the mine cart loses 1 wound. Elves are unaffected by being hit by the cart as they are nimble enough to jump out of the way. The mine cart can move through wall pieces, which are replaced as the player chooses. The mine cart cannot go through the magic door.

Sorcerers, Magic Potions and Quivers of Arrows If an elf draws a Sorcerer, Magic Potion or Quiver of Arrows card, but has a full supply of the specific token, then place a Sorcerer, Magic Potion or Quiver of Arrows marker in a space adjacent to that elf. Any player who lands on that space can replenish their supply as if they 2080

had drawn the appropriate card. Discard the token if this happens.

UNION & CONFEDERACY INTRODUCTION American Civil War Theme. Module for the Warp Empires system. You must use the Warp Empires system to play this game.

MAP North America circa 1860-1865. Divide each State into several territories. Indicate Capitals & Major cities.

TURNS 4 turns per year.

VICTORY Either side wins automatically if all opposing units are destroyed. At the end of 1865: The North Wins if the North is completely unoccupied and union stacks occupy over 50% of Rebel states, otherwise the South wins.

STACKS & UNITS Units are also called Divisions. Stacks are also called Armies. Leaders are also called Generals.

SETUP Each side starts with 10 Divisions in their Capital. The North starts with the leaders Robert Patterson and McDowell. The South starts with the leaders Joseph E. Johnson and Beauregard.

ACTION DECK Players share a common Action deck.

MOVEMENT RULES Stacks without leaders cannot move. Ships can move into coast spaces and spaces with rivers. Each Ship (Fleet) Unit can Transport one Division. Any Move card can also be used for ships.

REVENUE PHASE There are no revenue points, instead: The North recruits 6 random units per turn.

2089

The South recruits 3 random units per turn. You cannot recruit more units than you have friendly Capitals under your control. Recruited units start equally distributed in State Capitals.

MORALE After each battle the loser gets a “Demoralized” token and the victor removes a “Demoralized” token. If one side ever has 10 “Demoralized” tokens it gives up and the other side automatically wins the war. Having Washington or Richmond (re)captured is worth 3 tokens each time.

UPKEEP PHASE RULES Ignore the revenue = units rule. Isolated (surrounded) stacks lose 10% of their force total in units per month.

BATTLE PHASE Leaders in excess of 2 in a Stack generate only 2 Force each. Leaders in excess of Divisions generate no Force. When determining casualties, Divisions are always lost before Leaders.

HISTORICAL WAR RULES PROGRESSION 1963+: Union improvements in weapons technology, industry, experience, and Leadership give all Union Divisions +1 Force. 1964+: Confederate manpower reserves are used up. All Confederate Divisions are –1 Force.

In his book “The Hero with a Thousand Faces” Campbell describes a pathway of steps common to the adventures of all heroes in all cultures: Stage I: Departure 1. The Hero in the everyday world is called to adventure. 2. The Hero may at first refuse, but he eventually goes. 3. The Hero meets a protector & guide who offers supernatural aid. 4. The Hero encounters the first threshold to a new (magical) world. 5. The Hero may fight a guardian opposing him at the threshold. 6. The Hero plunges fully into the new world. Stage II: Initiation 7. The Hero follows a road of trials. 8. The Hero may receive aid from companions & unseen forces. 9. The Hero is abducted, or must take a journey by night or sea. 10. The Hero fights a symbolic dragon 11. The Hero may suffer ritual death or dismemberment. 12. The Hero is recognized or reunited with his father (family, fiends). 13. The Hero becomes nearly divine, conquering ignorance & fear. 14. The Hero receives ‘the ultimate boon’ (damsel, elixir of life, etc.). Stage III: Return 15. The Hero takes a ‘magical flight’ back to his original world. 16. The Hero must readjust to his original life. 17. The Hero becomes master of two worlds (material & inner self). 18. The Hero has conquered the fears that keep him from living fully.

SETUP Players pick a book or story or movie that all players are familiar with. Randomly determine player turn order.

TURN SEQUENCE Play is divided into rounds. Within a round, each player gets a turn. (Each round starts with a different player – rotate clockwise) Each game has 18 rounds, corresponding to the 18 steps listed in the introduction. On your turn you must explain how the story relates (or does not relate) to the particular Step you are on. Other players judge and reward you for your response (at the end of the round): * Complete (best) answer – Earn 2 tokens * Partial answer – Earn 1 token * Pass or bad answer or nothing else to add – Earn 0 tokens Note: Only the first player to go in the round can get a 2 token ‘complete answer’ unless the first player(s) pass or earn zero points.

GAME DESIGNERS NOTES Wanted to do something less complicated than Jyhad. One difference between this & Jyhad is that in Jyhad opponents were Methuselahs fighting on a global scale to destroy one another. This is a smaller scale: Players are Elders fighting to control a single city.

Campaign Missions- This is several connected scenarios where the results of one scenario affect the next scenario. This level of play requires a gamemaster. Multiple playing Sessions. 5. Roleplaying- The gamemaster will have to develop nonpiloting skills and quirks. Adventure possibilities may include a pilot being shot down and rescued, training ARVN, missions into Laos, supporting the special forces. Non-aircraft involved missions could involve fooling around in Saigon, the Air Base under attack by ground forces, etc. Check out this Vietnam Gaming Site

WAR HAMMER SPACE EMPIRES INTRODUCTION War Hammer 40K Theme. Module for the Warp Empires system. You must use the Warp Empires system to play this game.

MAP Deep Space with planets.

VICTORY You win if you capture over 80% of the planets on the map.

SETUP Each side starts with a Homeworld with 8 random space units and 12 random ground units.

UNIT TYPES L S G I A V R F T P

= = = = = = = = = =

Leaders Space (or Ships) Ground (All units except Space units) Infantry Artillery Vehicles Stealth (Scouts, Recon, Assassins, Diggers) Fast (Flyers, Skimmers, Bikes, Racers) Titans Psychic

ACTION DECK Players share a common Action deck (at bottom of page).

REVENUE PHASE Poor Planets produce a Revenue = 1 Rich Planets produce a Revenue = 3 Homeworlds produce a Revenue = 5

RECRUIT PHASE Poor Planets can recruit a maximum of 1 ground unit per turn. Rich Planets can recruit a maximum of 3 units (ground & space) per turn. Homeworlds can recruit a maximum of 5 units per turn. Leaders only cost half their force.

MOVE PHASE 2126

Ground units may travel through space, they are considered to be on their own Space Transports. Transports and other space units, unless otherwise stated, move at medium speed (2 spaces per turn). A ground unit upon entering a planet space with no enemy ships automatically lands on its surface. If there are enemy ships present, resolve the space battle. If the transport survives, it then lands on the planet.

BATTLE PHASE Resolve Space battles before planet based ground battles. Ground units in Space transports have a Force = zero and cannot get card bonuses. In a space battle, space units must be taken as casualties before transports. Note: A Space unit vs all transports will always win the battle and will take no casualties. If a Planetary Invasion force includes Space units, they may partake in the battle by bombardment. Bombarding ships only apply half their Force, and are the last units to be lost as casualties. The Leader bonus rule applies to space combat.

VICTORY Control all 9 Planes of Hell

THE BOARD Place 9 (Finely Illustrated) cards in a row. Each card represents one of the Planes of Hell from 1 (highest) to 9 (lowest).

THE DECK Players share a common deck Arch Devils and Dukes of Hell are considered to be Leaders. Lesser & Greater Devil cards & Monster cards are considered to be Legions. Legions & Leaders are Units. A Leader with attached Legions is referred to as an Army. A Stack is a Leader with or without attached cards. A Host refers to all the units of a player in the same Plane.

MARKERS Each player gets a set of markers of a unique color. These are used to mark control of Planes and Units.

SETUP Each player draws 9 cards. Discard & redraw if you did not draw at least 1 Arch Devil. No Units may move until each player has had 1 turn.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 7 Phases: Summon Phase Host Phase Intrigue Phase Gate Phase Battle Phase Reinforcement Phase Control Phase

SUMMON PHASE 2131

HOST PHASE You may put Leaders & Legions face up into Play from your hand. Arch Devils must start on their Home plane. (Each of the 9 Arch-Devils control 1 Plane of Hell) You cannot play an Arch Devil if an opponent controls its Home Plane. Dukes of Hell may start in any plane you control. Legions are attached (Stacked with) to Leaders you control. Place a control marker on your Stacks to indicate ownership.

INTRIGUE PHASE Each player gets 100 Intrigue points. Players use these points to secretly bid on every Leader in Play. Your Bids on Leaders you already control are worth double. Bids are revealed simultaneously. Players gain control of those Leaders they won the bid for. (You get the Leader & all attached cards.) Replace control markers as required. If tied, flip a coin. Leaders lost to Intrigue are called Traitors.

GATE PHASE Each of your Armies may move 1 Plane higher or lower. A Leader without attached Legions may be moved to any Plane.

BATTLE PHASE The current player is the Attacker. Other players are Defenders. Battle occurs when opposing units occupy the same Plane. Every unit has a Force value. Each player adds up the Total Force value of all their units in the Plane. Players may play Event cards to increase their sides Total Force value. The side with the lower Force value is completely destroyed (discarded) The side with the higher Force Total gets to keep units with a Force Total equal to or less than the difference between the Totals. The Winner always gets to keep at least 1 Unit (a Leader) Legions, if attached to a General for that type, get Force +3. An Army with Flyers gets Force +5 if facing a Host with no Flyers.

REINFORCEMENT PHASE Each of your Armies may move 1 Plane higher or lower. A Leader without attached Legions may be moved to any Plane. Units may not move into Planes occupied by enemy units. You may put Leaders & Legions face up into Play from your hand. Arch Devils must start on their Home plane. You cannot play an Arch Devil if an opponent controls its Home Plane.

WAR OVER THE REICH INTRODUCTION Scenario for WarpQuest: WWII. Click here for the WarpQuest Core Rules. Each player controls a Flight of 300 British (Halifax, Wellington, Mosquito, and Lancaster) Bombers on a Night Raid to bomb targets in Nazi Germany.

INTRODUCTION Module 1 represents the flight to the Target Zone. Module 2 represents the combat over the Target Zone. The ‘Artifact’ is the halfway point of the Mission when the Bombers must turn back.

BOMBER FLIGHT STATS A Bomber Flight (Group) has 300 Bombers and 6 Stats. The Flight also has a Fuel Surplus = 6 Roll on the Stat List Table to see what stats you get:

STATS LIST TABLE 1D6 1 2 3 4 5 6

Stat: Bombers +50 Electronic Warfare +2 Navigation Intelligence +2 Fighter Defense +2 Bombing +2 Fuel Surplus +1

Notes: Base = 300 Radar, Radio, Countermeasures Electronics, Planning, Experience Fighter Escort, Bomber MGs, Tactics Accuracy & Tonnage Base = 6

FUEL SURPLUS Every time you fail a Navigation test reduce your Fuel Surplus by one point. You may voluntarily use up a Fuel Surplus point to ‘Search for Targets’: Instead of Moving forwards in Movement Phase, move your pawn (Bomber Group) backwards. If your Fuel Surplus = 0 you must immediately turn back and head for home. If your Fuel = 0 and you fail a Navigation test you lose 1D6 Bombers. (They run out of fuel)

ALTITUDE There are three Altitudes: Low, Medium, and High. Start the game at Medium altitude. Instead of moving forward during Movement phase, use up a Fuel Surplus point and change your Altitude to any other height. If you are at low altitude Navigation and Bombing tests are DM –1. If you are at low altitude Flak and EW tests are DM +1. If you are at high altitude Navigation and Bombing tests are DM +1. If you are at high altitude Flak and EW tests are DM -1.

FLAK & FIGHTERS If you fail a Flak or Fighter test lose 1D10 Bombers. If you pass a Flak or Fighter test you lose no Bombers.

2138

If you pass a fighter test you shoot down 1D6 enemy Fighters. Add your Fighter Defense Stat to ‘Fighter test’ Skill rolls.

BOMBING TARGETS When you bomb a target, 50 of your bombers will drop their bombs. Add your Bombing Stat to ‘Bombing test’ Skill rolls. If you pass the test, the target is destroyed: keep the target card in your possession. If you fail the test, the target card remains in play in that space. The next Bomber group to land on the space may try to bomb the target. A Bomber drops all of its bombs at once. Those bombers cannot attack again.

ELECTRONIC WARFARE Add your Electronic Warfare Stat to ‘EW test’ Skill rolls. If you pass an EW test nothing happens. If you fail an EW test, draw another card. If it is a Flak or Fighter card, the card attacks with a DM +1. If the drawn card is not a Flak or Fighter, discard it: nothing happens.

VISUAL SIGHTING If If If If

you pass an Visual Sighting test nothing happens. you fail a VS test, draw another card. it is a Flak or Fighter card, the card attacks with a DM +1. the drawn card is not a Flak or Fighter, discard it: nothing happens.

SCORING Get 10 Victory Points (VP) for every target you ‘destroy’. (The Decoy Target earns no VP, but you must bomb it.) Get 1 VP for every enemy fighter you destroy. Lose 1 VP for every bomber you lost. Lose 5 VP if you run out of Surplus Fuel.

HIT ‘EM HARD RULE When you go to make a Bombing test roll you may decide to attack with more than 50 Bombers. You may choose 100, 150, or any multiple of 50. All Bombers you declare to attack must attack. If the first 50 fail their attack, roll again for the next 50, and so on.

SAME SPACE If your pawn lands on an opponents pawn, nothing happens, there is no conflict, and do not draw a card.

MAP & CHITS Use a disposable Hex map. Indicate which hexes are land and which are water. Draw in rivers along borders of hexes. Draw in terrain types onto the map spaces as the map is explored. Each player starts with control marker chits of a unique color to indicate ownership of settlements. Each player starts with Hero marker chits of the same color and marked with an H and a unique number to indicate individual Hero units. 10 sided dice are required to play.

SETUP Pick one hex on the map to contain your capitol city. Put down the appropriate terrain chit with a control marker on it. Place one Hero chit in your capitol city. The Hero starts with an army of 1D10 units of each of the 4 basic troop types. The hero also starts with a wandering wizard. Start with 1D10 gold.

HEROES For each of your heroes you will need an index card with the following information: The Heroes Identification number. Also on the chit. The Heroes Name. Make one up. Magical Items the hero owns. Is there a Wizard in the army. Number of warriors in the army. Number of catapults in the army. Number of archers in the army. Number of cavalry in the army. Number of ships present if at sea. Experience points the Hero has. Skill Abilities the hero has. All heroes begin with one skill: Roll on the Ability Table.

INITIATIVE PHASE Each player rolls 1D10. This is the Initiative Roll. The highest roll goes first in all of the following phases. The second highest roll goes second in all of the following phases, and so on. Note that segments in battle rounds are simultaneous for both sides.

REALM PHASE Roll on the Realm Spell Table a number of times equal to 1+ the number of Towers you control. You may cast these spells during the turn when appropriate. Realm spells cannot be saved from turn to turn.

COLLECT GOLD PHASE Collect gold from all of your settlements.

RECRUIT TROOPS PHASE Each type of settlement can recruit one type of troop. (see the settlement type table) While at a settlement a hero can purchase troops from it. Capitol cities can recruit warriors and heroes. A maximum of 1D10 troops can be bought in one settlement in one turn. A hero can have a maximum of 40 troops in his army, and 1 wizard. A hero with the Command ability can have more troops. Two heroes cannot occupy the same hex. The capitol cannot recruit a hero if one is already occupying the capitol. A Tower is the home of one Wizard who may be recruited for 5 gold. The tower cannot produce any more wizards. If a wizard is 'killed' he teleports home where he can be recruited by the current controller of the hex. Two wizards cannot occupy the same hex. Wandering wizards have no tower, They teleport off of the map.

ESPIONAGE PHASE Players cannot conduct espionage against each other until their empires come into contact. Roll 1D10 = X. This is the Espionage roll. Hire up to X agents for X gold. Roll 1D10 for each agent on the Espionage Table.

MOVE & EXPLORE PHASE Except for the hexes containing Capitol cities, all hexes start out with unknown terrain. Basic Heroes have 3 Move Points (MPs). Heroes with logistics ability have extra MPs An MP can be used to scout (explore) an adjacent unknown land hex. Roll on the Hex Terrain Type Table to discover the identity of the hex. Determine Settlement types. Newly explored Non-settlement terrains will contain an encounter on a roll of 1-2 on D10. Roll on the encounter table to determine its type. Write the encounter type onto the map Encounters do not move. They remain until destroyed. Heroes cannot move into or through encounters. MPs can be used to move into an explored land territory.

2144

Different terrains have different MP costs to enter. Heroes cannot move into water spaces. Heroes may move through a hex containing another friendly hero. Instead of moving, friendly adjacent heroes may exchange troops or magic items. A troop or magic item may be exchanged only once per turn. Heroes that can move more than one land space per turn may, instead of moving one hex, explore an adjacent hex.

DISASTER MAGIC PHASE Wizards may cast Disaster Realm Spells.

BATTLE PHASE A Hero may attack an adjacent enemy hero or an encounter. A Hero may only make one attack per turn. Having strategy ability allows a hero to make more than one attack per turn. A hex may be attacked more than once per turn. Heroes may combine attacks against a single hex. At the start of a battle, if you have a Wizard in your force, roll on The Battle spell table 4 times for 4 Battle Spells the Wizard can use this battle. Battle spells cannot be saved from battle to battle. See the Battle Round Sequence section.

RECOVERY PHASE Collect treasure from encounters: Roll on the treasure table. If you defeated an enemy Hero take all of his magical items. A Hero may remove an enemy control marker in the hex he occupies. The hero may put down a control marker in the hex he occupies. Heroes earn one Experience point (XP) for every encounter they overcome, every enemy hero they kill and every enemy settlement they take control of. Every two XP earns a hero one skill ability. Roll on the Ability Table.

BATTLE ROUND SEQUENCE A battle ‘round’ is divided into segments: 1. Spell Segment 2. Initiative 5+ Attacks Segment 3. Initiative 4 Attacks Segment (Catapults) 4. Initiative 3 Attacks Segment (Archers) 5. Initiative 2 Attacks Segment (Cavalry) 6. Initiative 1 Attacks Segment (Warriors) 7. Initiative 0- Attacks Segment Each troop type has its own initiative rank that determines the order of attacks. Magic and abilities may increase or decrease a troops initiative and or kill rank. Each rank of “Wall” of a terrain or settlement decreases the kill rank of the attacker by 1. All attacks in the same segment are simultaneous. For its attack a troop rolls 1D10. If this is equal to or less than the troops kill rank, then one enemy troop unit is killed. The defending player decides which of his troops are killed at the end of the segment. Some spells allow the attacker to decide which units or groups of units are targeted. Ships can be directly attacked by other ships and sea monsters. The round is repeated until one side is destroyed, or the attacker calls off the attack (at end of round). The Hero is the last unit to be killed in a battle. A Wizard can only cast one spell per round. Encounters that are not defeated remain. Record what type they are on the map.

NOTES: Some troop types cause the hero to gain an ability if there is one or more of that troop type present. A Hero can have up to 5 different types of troops in his army. Heroes with the command ability can have one extra type per level of command ability.

GAME DESIGNERS NOTES Warbah? I just liked the sound of it. Instead of rolling 1 attack die for every unit in a group, use this equation: ((1D10)/5)(# of Troops)(Kill Rank/10) = # of enemy troops killed Round to the nearest whole number.

WARGAMMON INTRODUCTION Two player abstract strategy board game. Variant of Backgammon

EQUIPMENT Checker Board (64 spaces) 16 red checkers 16 black checkers 2 six sided dice

SETUP Each player gets one set of 16 checkers. Each player has his own 'side of the board' On the back row of a players side, the player places a stack of 8 checkers in each of the two corner spaces Red moves first

OBJECT Be the first to move all of your checkers off the board past your opponents back row

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns On your turn roll the two six sided dice You may move one checker twice or two checkers once a number of spaces equal to the dice rolls Checkers may be moved forward, to the left sideways, and to the right sideways Checkers may not be moved diagonally or backwards If one of your checkers lands on top of a single opponent's checker the opponent's checker is captured A stack of two or more checkers may not be captured A checker may not capture another checker on its second move A captured checker is immediately placed on top of one of its owners corner stacks by its owner A checker may not jump over any other checker or stack of checkers A checker moved off the board past the opponents back row is out of the game Rolling doubles allows the player to make 4 moves, just as in regular backgammon

2152

WARP EMPIRES INTRODUCTION Generic ruleset for a series of empire building/conquest games.

MAP The map depicts an irregular, interlocked set of territories.

CONTROL MARKERS Use chits to represent control markers.

UNITS Use chits to represent units. Units include Leaders & non-leader units.

DECK Players share an action deck. In some games, each player will have their own action deck. The action deck cards allow you to move your units.

SETUP Most Leader units will be in play. Others will be mixed into the unit chit pile. Each player will start with several non-leader units in play. Starting points of units will be determined by the scenario.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 7 phases: Draw Phase Move Phase Battle Phase Revenue Phase Recruit Phase Upkeep Phase Control Phase

DRAW PHASE First discard any cards you don't want. Each player draws 5 action cards. Max hand size = 7. Discard excess cards. If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it.

MOVE PHASE 2153

Use Action cards to move stacks or units in stacks. A Fast unit can move 1-3 spaces. A Medium speed unit can move 1-2 spaces. A Slow unit can move 1 space. Units can move into but not through opposing stacks. Fortifications cannot move (Move = 0). Your opponent can only look at the top unit of your stacks

BATTLE PHASE When two opposing stacks occupy the same territory there will be a battle. Each unit has a force value. Add up the total Force values for each side. Players may play action cards to increase their force value. If one stack has a Leader and the other does not, the stack with the leader gets an additional 5 Force. The side with the highest force value wins. The losing stack must retreat one space. The losing stack loses half of its units. The winner picks the first unit lost, the loser picks the remainder. Fortification units in the losing stack are destroyed automatically. The winning stack loses units with a force equal to at least half the force total lost by the losing stack. The winner decides which units are lost. Destroyed units are returned to their chit pile. Captured leaders are set aside and not returned to the chit pile. After a battle both sides replenish their hands to 7 cards.

REVENUE PHASE Gain revenue points for every revenue generating territory you control.

RECRUIT PHASE Draw 5 random units from the unit chit pile. Purchase units. A units cost is equal to its Force value. If you purchased all the drawn units, draw another 1D6 random units. Revenue may be saved from turn to turn. Discard unpurchased units back to your unit chit pile. Units start in any revenue generating territory you control.

UPKEEP PHASE Units that automatically receive upkeep = 5 x total Revenue. Discard excess units. Example: You generate 10 revenue points per turn... You may have up to 50 units.

CONTROL PHASE Place a control marker on every revenue generating territory occupied by one of your units. Only one control marker per space.

WARP HAMMER

INTRODUCTION Two player Card Game based on the Games Workshop Warhammer Fantasy Universe.

DISCLAIMER Warhammer is a trademarked, copyrighted property. This is merely a fan site.

LATEST REVISIONS Added new Arttributes 1/24/02.

CARDSETS Goto Zak's WarpHammer Support Page Cardsets for Spells, Empire, & Wood Elves available.

DECK CREATION Each player uses a separate individualized deck. Each deck must contain 40 cards. Note that every card has a Cost. Each deck must have a total Cost of 100 points or less. (Or more points if players agree) A player must pick his units off of one Card List (2 or more if players agree) and the appropriate Spell Lists. Every Army must have a Command Group consisting of at least a Wizard and a 4+ Force Hero. A 40 card deck may have a maximum of 20 Item, Spell, Tactic, Mark, and Virtue cards. A 40 card deck may have a maximum of 10 Wizards & Heroes.

CARD TYPES Hero, Magic, Wizard, Archer, War Machine, Signal, Berserker, Ambush, Scout, Monster, Beast, Cavalry, Infantry, and Spear cards are all Unit cards. Item, Spell, Tactic, Mark, and Virtue cards are collectively called Enhancement cards. An enhancement card must be played with a certain type of unit card for it to have any effects. Note that one effect of an enhancement card is to provide an additional

2157

unit type attribute (trait) in Battle and Blood Phase. For example: To have a Rune Hammer (Item from Dwarf List) have any effect, you must have a Hero unit in play. The Hammer then adds 3 Force and has the attribute of Magic (Equivalent to having an extra unit of the Magic Type). Note that most of the attacks in Battle phase target unit cards, not enhancement cards.

VICTORY The first player to win 5 hands is the winner.

TURN SEQUENCE Each turn has 5 phases: Logistics Phase March Phase Orders Phase Battle Phase Blood Phase

LOGISTICS PHASE Players draw a hand of 15 cards from your deck. If a deck runs out, shuffle the reserve pile & draw from it.

MARCH PHASE Players discard down to 10 cards. The discarded cards go to a players reserve pile.

ORDERS PHASE Write down on a scrap piece of paper whether you want your army to: Charge, Advance, or Defend. Players reveal their written orders simultaneously. If you wrote Charge Orders, all of your Monster, Beast, Cavalry, and Flying units get +1 force. If you wrote Advance Orders, all of your Infantry, Spears, Hero, and Signal units get +1 force. If you wrote Defend Orders, all of your Magic, Scout, Archer, and War Machine units get +1 force. If you wrote Charge and your opponent wrote Defend you get +3 force to your battle total. If you wrote Defend and your opponent wrote Advance you get +3 force to your battle total. If you wrote Advance and your opponent wrote Charge you get +3 force to your battle total.

BATTLE PHASE Players reveal their hands by placing them face down in front of them. Killed cards are sent to the players casualty pile. Note that attributes provided by Item, Spell, Tactic, Mark, Ability, and Virtue cards may only be counted if a card that can use it is also in play. For example only Wizards can use Spells. A card may only apply one of its traits per turn to produce an affect. For example: A unit with the scout trait and the Archer trait must use only one. Conduct the following contests/attacks in order: *The Player with the most Signal units gets to draw the top card of his deck and put it into play.

2158

*Each Armor, Swarm, Courage, & Regenerating unit gets to negate one kill caused by his opponent this phase on a roll of 1-3 on 1D6. *Each Cowardly unit gets to send one killed unit to the reserve pile instead of the casualty pile on a roll of 1-4 on 1D6. *Each Beast unit gets to kill one enemy Scout or one Ambush unit this turn on a roll of 1-3 on 1D6. *The Player with the most Scout units gets to look at the next 10 cards in his opponents deck. *Each Ambush unit gets to kill any one opposing unit on a roll of 1-2 on 1D6. If the Ambush unit rolls a 6, the ambusher is killed. *Each Disaster & War Machine unit gets to reveal the top card of his opponents deck: If it is a unit kill it, if it is an enhancement, send it to the Reserve pile. *Each Archer unit gets to kill one Infantry, Spear, or Flyer unit on a roll of 1-2 on 1D6. *Each Flying & Teleport unit gets to kill any one enemy Archer or War Machine unit on a roll of 1-2 on 1D6 or Neutralize any one unit on a roll of 1-3 on 1D6. A Neutralized unit cannot roll for its attribute for the rest of Battle Phase. *Each Wizard or Magic Resistance unit gets to kill one enemy Spell or Item on a roll of 1-3 on 1D6. *Each Fear or Magic unit gets to rout one Non-hero opposing unit to its owners reserve pile on a roll of 1-4 on 1D6. *Each Immobilizer unit causes any one opposing unit to be immobilized on a roll of 1-3 on 1D6. An Immobilized unit is neutralized and has a Force = 0. *Each Hero unit gets to kill one opposing Hero, Monster, or Magic unit on a roll of 1-3 on 1D6. *Each Spear unit gets to kill one opposing Monster or Cavalry on a roll of 1-3 on 1D6. *Each Cavalry unit kills an opposing Non-hero Archer unit or War Machine on a roll of 1-3 on 1D6. *Each Berserker, Slay, and Monster unit gets to kill any one unit on a roll of 1-3 on 1D6. *Each Poison, Drain, or Disease unit gets to effect one enemy unit. Roll 1D6: On 1-2 the unit is killed, on 3-4 it is immobilized, on 5-6 nothing. *The Player with the most Infantry and Death units gets a +5 Force bonus in Blood Phase. Normally the attacker chooses the target to be killed. Units with the Martyr ability may be killed instead at the option of the targets controller. A Unit may attempt, once per turn, to martyr for one other unit on a roll of 1-3 on 1D6.

BLOOD PHASE Determine a Battle Total for each player. Each card remaining from Battle Phase contributes its force rating to the Battle Total. If you play a Leader card with a Mount card get a +1 force bonus. If a unit has a “Versus” attribute (Such as +2 vs Orcs) the Unit only gets the bonus if the opponent plays a unit of the appropriate type. Items, Spells, Tactics, Marks, Abilities, and Virtues may only be counted if a card that can use it is also in play. For example only Wizards can use Spells. The Player with the highest Battle Total wins the Melee. The loser puts 1D6 random cards in play into his casualty pile. Remaining cards go into each players reserve pile.

0.0 INTRODUCTION Warp Skirmish is an abstract Wargame system that utilizes a mix

2179

of board, card, dice and unit elements to create a system with chess-like strategy, fog-of-war uncertainty and module expandability. Presented here are the base mechanics and several modules that are ready for play. The modules contain the game setting, background , unit and card definitions and the rules that augment or change the Warp Skirmish engine. 1.0 The Warp Skirmish Engine 1.1 The Map An 8x8 chessboard can be used to play most games. Terrain aspects are detailed in the module. 1.2 The Units Each module will detail the number, attributes and start positions of the units involved. 1.3 The Cards The players either draw from a common deck of cards or have a their own deck of cards. The make up of the deck is detailed in the module. The cards represent actions, resources, attributes, and other aspects of the modules setting. 1.4 Victory Conditions Each module will detail the conditions that need to be met for a player or players to be declared the victorious. 1.5 Turn Sequence A player is randomly selected to go thru the Turn Sequence first. Each module will detail the exact Turn Sequence; the basic phases are usually as follows. 1.5.1 Orders Phase The player draws 3 cards. If the deck runs out the discard pile is shuffled and used as the deck. The maximum number of cards that can be help is 5 cards. After drawing player must discard excess cards. 1.5.2 Maneuver Phase The player discards a Movement type card. A Movement card will be marked as such and will have a number that will indicate the number of spaces a unit may move. Movement cards are often valid for specific types of units. The player can then select a valid unit and move them that number of spaces. The directions a particular unit can move in, as well as other movement restrictions, are detailed in the module. 1.5.3 Fire Phase The player discards an Attack type card. An Attack card will be marked as such and will have a number that will indicate the range of an attack. Attack cards are often valid for specific types of units. The player can then select a valid unit to attack and a valid target. The effects of the attack, as well as restrictions and reactions by the target, are detailed in the module. 1.6 Strategic Variant Make Orders Phase the Last phase of the Turn Sequence, and play with card hands face up.

MAP Fantasy Setting

VICTORY Either side wins automatically if all opposing units are destroyed.

SETUP Each side starts with a City, 2 Heroes and 10 random units.

ACTION DECK Players share a common Action deck (at bottom of page).

REVENUE PHASE Villages produce a Revenue = 1 Towns & Mines produce a Revenue = 2 Cities produce a Revenue = 3

RECRUIT PHASE Spells can be attached to any stack with a Wizard unit. Units must start in a settlement you control. Ships must start in a Coastal settlement.

MOVE PHASE Flyers can move up to 4 spaces. Flyers can jump over enemy units. Ships & Sea units can only move into coastal spaces or spaces with lakes or rivers. Only Flyers, Ships & Sea units can enter deep sea spaces. Each Ship can carry one other unit. A nonflying stack must stop upon entering a mountain, swamp, or desert territory.

BATTLE PHASE Wizards & Heroes are considered to be Leaders. Towns & Forests give defending units +1 Force each. Cities, Castles and Mountains give defending units +2 Force each. If defeated, Heroes are simply sent back to the unit chit pile. Spells only generate Force if there is a Wizard in the stack.

2181

WARPQUEST RULES INTRODUCTION Warp Quest is an abstract game system that depicts goal driven scenarios. Each player controls a collection of Units who are attempting to be the first to reach an objective and bring it back to the start. The units could be a party of adventuring archeologists hoping to recover a lost artifact, a squadron of bombers attempting to hit a military target and return home, a band of samurai seeking to vanquish marauding bandits or a company of mixed creatures seeking to destroy a piece of evil ornamental jewelry that has the nasty habit of trying to control the minds of all free creatures. The scenarios that use the Warp Quest engine will hold the details.

DICE & PIECES · Six and ten sided dice are needed. · Each player has a pawn to represent his or her adventuring party on the board. Use a small trinket to represent the Objective. There is only one Objective.

THE BOARD · The board is a single winding path of connected spaces with a Start Space and an End Space. The path should be 30 Spaces long. · The First Space represents the start. · Spaces 2-15 represents travel through the first scenario module. · Spaces 16-29 represents travel through the second scenario module. · The End Space is the final destination where the Objective is found.

THE DECKS · There are 2 decks for each scenario: · The Module 1 Deck and the Module 2 Deck · Each deck has one of each card in its card list.

THE UNITS · Each player controls a group of units called a Party. The scenarios will detail the make up of the units in the party, their attribute and starting dispositions.

TURN SEQUENCE · Players take turns. · Each turn consists of 3 phases: 1. Move Phase 2. Draw Phase 3. Challenge Phase

MOVE PHASE · Roll 1D6. Move that number of spaces towards the end space.

2193

· You automatically stop when you enter the end space. · If you are the first to land on the end space your party acquires the Objective. · Once a party has acquired the Objective then all other players may move their parties in either direction on the path. · The party with the Objective must move towards the start space. · The first party with the Objective to reach the start space wins the game.

DRAW PHASE · · · · · · ·

If you land on an empty space in spaces 2-15 draw a card from the Module 1 deck. If you land on an empty space in spaces 16-29 draw a card from the Module 2 deck. If you land on an opponent’s party do not draw a card. If a deck ever runs out, shuffle its discard and draw from it. Cards are of 2 types: Challenge cards & Aid cards. Place Aid cards in your hand. Challenge cards are encounters your party faces immediately in Challenge Phase.

CHALLENGE PHASE · Each challenge card lists one or more skills. · Roll 1D6 and add the number of those skill levels present in your party. · If the skill listed is X2 then add twice the number of that skill level in your party. · Discard Aid cards to gain skill levels in the skill indicated on the card. · This is the Skill Roll. · Next roll 2D6. This is the Challenge Roll. · If the Challenge Roll is less than or equal to the Skill Roll you win the challenge. · If the Challenge Roll is greater than the Skill Roll you fail the challenge. · The adventure card may say what happens if you win or lose the challenge. · If the card does not give directions and you lose the challenge, one of your party members is killed or lost. · One random non-leader party member is killed. The Leader is always the last to go. Example of Resolving Challenges: · Lets say the party has 3 levels of agility & they face an agility X 2 challenge. · They would add (3 x 2 =) 6 to their Skill Roll. · If the party had 2 levels of agility they would add 4 not 6. · If the party had 0 levels they would add nothing. Yes, the odds are almost always against the party. They need a lot of luck to make it back. As an optional rule to make life easier for the party roll 1D10 instead of 1D6 for the Skill Roll.

DIFFICULTY MODIFIER · Abbreviated DM. · This is a property of individual Challenge cards. · The DM is added to the Challenge Roll.

MOVING ONTO AN OPPONENTS PARTY · If you land on an opponent’s party there will be a fight. · The current player rolls 1D10 on the Skill List Table. · Both players make Skill Rolls. In case of a tie nothing happens. · The loser loses a party member. The winner takes the Artifact from the loser if the loser was in possession of the Artifact.

PLAYING WITHOUT CARDS *By Salo: At least in solo.... The mechanism is simple.

2194

Just make a list of all challenge cards

with exel (or whatever spreadsheat you prefere) and randomize the list. Then print it out. Now, when you face a chalenge, roll 1d10. If you get 7, you face the seventh challenge on the list. When you have dealed with the chalenge, mark it used. When you face another challenge, roll the 1d10 again. If you get a 10, then you face the 10th UNMARKED challenge on the list. Just make sure, that there are 10 more challenges in the list than there are spaces on the game board. The challenges that top the list happen more often than those at the bottom of the list. This property can be used without randomizing by the game designer. Hope you get what I mean. *By Tomwsmf: Another way of doing this, though it would introduce more instances of a thing/event goes something like this. Make a table of all the cards in a deck, number them. -Each card now as a unique number (cardnumber) -Take the Number of Cards in the list, divide that number by 100. (totalcards/100) -Each card is then given a Percentile Number equal to (cardnumber)*(totalcards/100) When you are asked to draw a card roll a percentile (2d10 the first die being 10's the second die being 1's or use the 2d6 method descibe in countermoves issue 2) and consult the card table Say you have a deck of 7 card (totalcards/100)=14.28 Card Percentile 1 14 2 28 3 42 4 57 5 71 6 85 7 99 you would get card 1 on a percentile rool of 14 or less card 2 15 thru 28 card 3 29 thru 42 * By Zak: I use a simple trick to test some of the Lloyd productions before creating the real cards: i set for each card a number and then i put on a cup a number of numerical markers correspoing to the card # - i own a lot of boardgames so i have a full collection of numerical markers but in any case is very easy to create a generic set of such a counter. With this mechanism you can have the random distribution of the deck (one instance of every card - or more if needed) and you don't need the printed card since you simply index the card list with the numbers in your "hand". Nothing special but it works.

WARPSPAWN GAMES 4-PAGE PRINTING FORMAT by Tom Higgins

-----------------Using just One sheet of 8.5x11 (or the euro equiv) that when folded just right the text and all would make a very cool very compact zinelete. Here is the simple version. Take a piece of 8.5X11 or its equiv. ---------------------| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ----------------------Take the bottom edge and fold it up to the top (thus folding it in half) ---------------------| (Top) | | | | | | | | | | | |----------------------| | | | | | | | | | | | (Bottom) | ----------------------(fold up to top) [Result] ====================== | | | | | | | | | | | | ----------------------Then Take the left edge and fold it across to the right (thus floding it in half again) ====================== | | | |L | R|

2197

|e | i| |f | g| |t | h| | | t| ----------------------(fold across to right) What you should have should resemble a little 4 page booklete. ============= | || | || | || | || | || | || ------------If you mark the Front as cover, the Back as Back , and the inner two section as Inner1 and Inner 2 then unfold the paper this is what you will get ---------------------| | | | | | | Back | Cover | | | | | | | | | | |-----------|----------| | | | | | | | | | | Inside 2 | Inside 1 | | | | | | | | | | | | | ----------------------(The once caveat, in order to get everything facing the right way you need to flip the text upside down in the Inside1 and Inside 2 sections. MS Word can do this easy as can some other non MS Wordmanglers.) The back of the page would be the game map and counter, the game sheet, etc. Now what is this good for? Lots. One application could be in getting some of the games out and spread around as one page samzdat. For instance. Malta Convoy. The rules would fit in the front side of the page and the gamesheet would cover the back side. You could read the rules, then unfold and play. You could easily print the gmes out and pass them around, leave them on the counters of game shops, in book or magazine stores etc etc etc. Here is a PDF with a ready to print, ready to fold game. I used Malta Convoy cause I had the grfx ready. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/warpspawn/files/MALTA%20CONVOYZinelete.pdf Well I thought MSword did it, problem is it just does both side and top not upside down I used the tables featuer in word to get the page borken up into the four qudrants. Then I formated the text as I wanted it save for the upside down part of the bottom two quads. I then took a screen snapshot of the word doc I was using and then pasted the image into an art program (pick your fave). I then cropped out the parts I did not need and wound up with just the two sections that needed flipping. Then I flipped them and pasted them back into word as images. The thing is you loose the ability to play with them as text at that point, so you better have done all the editing you need to do before. Its not that hard to redo it, just extra steps.

2198

Then i converted the thing to PDF and bingo, done. If I can get word to odo upside down text i can do away with the grfx part:)-

DESIGNING SCENARIOS For a single evening: The game master must roll 20 times on the Master Attribute Table #0. The GM must incorporate all those terms into the evenings adventuring session.

GAME DESIGNERS NOTES Work in progress. This is fun just to make characters… One of my favorites is the Toxic Aqua Orc Pacifist. Plan more tables for weapons, ships, devices, alien body parts, encounters, adventures, landscapes, etc. Have fun with it. Meant to be as campy as possible. Game Mechanics: Imagination!

WARRIOR DICE INTRODUCTION Dice game for 2 players. Each player is a Warrior represented by a single die.

DICE & BITS Each player needs one Ten-sided die. Use spare change to keep track of Hits. Note: This is a very portable game. (Keep Battle tables written on Index cards)

VICTORY Reduce your opponent to zero hits.

ANATOMY OF A DIE One Face (1) is the Adder. If you roll the Adder, Roll again and add 10 to the Force of the roll. One Face (2) is the Doubler. If you roll the Doubler, Roll again twice and keep one of the rolls. The other eight faces are a combination of Attack and Defense results. An Attack or Defense Face has a Force value. A Force value is always a number that is a multiple of 10.

SETUP Choose which Warrior you want to be. Each basic Warrior starts with 100 Hits. Players roll high to see who goes first.

TURN SEQUENCE Each turn is divided into 3 phases: Attack Phase Defend Phase Damage Phase

ATTACK PHASE The attacker (the current player whose turn it is) rolls his die. If you roll the Adder, Roll again and add 10 to the Force of the roll. If you roll the Doubler, Roll again twice and keep one of the rolls. If you roll a Defense result the turn ends. If you roll an Attack face proceed to the Defend phase.

DEFEND PHASE The defender (the other player) rolls his die. If you roll the Adder, Roll again and add 10 to the Force of the roll. If you roll the Doubler, Roll again twice and keep one of the rolls.

2205

DAMAGE PHASE The Attacker does damage (in Hits) to the defender equal to the Force of his Attack result. If the defender rolled a Defense result in Defend phase, he subtracts the Force of The Defense result from the Damage he receives. (Treat a negative result as zero)

SPECIAL RESULTS Neutralize: this is a type of Attack result: Your opponent skips his next 2 attack phases. All Out: this is a type of Attack result: If ATTACKING, roll again and double the Force of the result.

DESIGN YOUR OWN WARRIORS Basic Warriors are 300 points: 100 Hit points 100 points distributed to Attacks 100 points distributed to Defenses "All Out" Attacks are worth 10 points "Regain 10 Lost Hits" Defenses are worth 20 points "Neutralize" Attacks are worth 20 points

EXPERIENCE XP = Experience Points Every time you defeat a lesser warrior get 1 XP. Every time you defeat an equal warrior get 5 XP. Every time you defeat a greater warrior get 10 XP. Each 10 XP allows you to do one of the following: 1. Add 10 to one of your Attacks 2. Add 10 to one of your Defenses 3. Gain 10 Hit Points 4. Create a new Attack or Defense with a Force = 10. The new Attack or Defense shares a Die roll Indicator (1-10) with one of your existing results and can be used instead of the original at your discretion during combat. For Example: The Samurai turns in 10XP to gain a new Attack he calls Wakizashi (Short sword) with a Force = 10. He assigns this new attack to his #7 slot which already has the Defense of "Armor" (Force = 10). So from now on, every time he rolls a #7 he can choose to have it mean either Armor or Wakizashi. FAQ's 1. Situation: I roll the Adder, then the Doubler. How is that handled? We have been using a spot ruling that only the last one rolled is applied. A. You get +10 (from the Adder) then roll again twice (from the Doubler) and pick one of the results. 2. What if I roll the Doubler then an All Out Attack? Made basically the same ruling as #1, above. A. In this case you picked the "All Out Attack" which then allows you to make another roll. 3. Does Neutralize automatically affect the target? We've been reading it as 'Yes'. A. Good point. Some defense against "Neutralize" attacks should be allowed. I rule that a defense of 20+ Force should negate a Neutralize Attack. 4. Can you Double a Neutralize to 4 turns? We read that as 'No'. A. I would agree that Neutralize Attacks cannot be doubled.

WARRIOR DICE Shadow Warriors By Brian Rayburn ([email protected]) Shadow Warriors is a background setting for ongoing games. Each character is a being that exists beyond the boundaries of the mortal sphere. Most can become younger or older at will, but each being of Shadow can recognize another on sight. Most have long-reaching schemes that they wish to see to fruition. However, with immortality and power comes arrogance, and they see each other as obstacles in their power plays. Therefore, most attack each other on sight, or at the earliest opportunity. Most have an unseen (in normal games, at least) mentor, another creature who has been on Earth for centuries amassing power. This simply gives a background for the character to be and have what he does. One important difference from the warriors described in the basic rules is that Shadow beings can never truly die, at least not in a way understandable to mortals. Truly powerful majicks would be needed to permanently banish even one from our plane of existence, and sorcerers of that caliber are unique, if not extinct. To reflect this in game terms, each time a character is brought to 1/10 of their starting Hits, they may yield, and no Shadow being can pass the opportunity to know, if even for only a while, that they held the upper hand. Of course, if a blow brings a character to 0 Hits, the victim is dead. For a while. See, Shadow creatures can reform. At a cost. Each time this happens, subtract 10 from the Force of one Attack or Defense, or 10 Hits permanently. The point value of a character reforming this way should be adjusted down as well. The lost points can be bought again with XP as normal, but if the character dies again, 10 more points have to be subtracted again. If a character insists on fighting until they are reduced to below 30 points, then that character’s life force is banished back to the

2218

Shadow Realms, to work it’s way back up the ranks of the dark masses to again wield the power to manifest in our realm. Another difference is that a character actually inhabits a mortal body, even if that body was crafted by the creature’s force of will. As such, a character is limited to one ‘supernatural’ attack form, such as manifesting claws or spitting a stream of venom. Many times these traits resemble animal abilities, in a twisted way. Although characters begin with only one supernatural ability, more can be obtained. Each time you force another Shadow being to reform, you may absorb some of his essence. After tallying the XP for the battle, if the winner has enough XP to purchase a new Attack or Defense, she may decide to make it the same type as the defeated character’s supernatural trait. If a defeated character has more than one already, the winner may choose one. Here’s some examples: Miranda Thorne and Gregor Kaprov have met in battle in the main building of her mentor’s corporate empire. Both being beginning characters, each has one supernatural trait. Miranda designated one Attack as ‘Claws’, which she took at Force 30. Gregor can transform his face during combat, and manifest an Attack as ‘Fanged Bite’, which he allotted 40 Attack Force to. Miranda gains the upper hand, and rips Gregor’s throat out. Since they were of equal point value, Miranda gains 5 XP. Since she also made Jasmine yield a few months ago, that brings her to 10XP. She decides to spend the XP immediately, and take on Gregor’s trait. She decides to keep with the theme set by her Claws, and decides hers will manifest as a more feline appearance. She places it as the second option of her #4 slot, as ‘Fanged Bite 10’, and is now a 310 pt character. In a few weeks Gregor will be back. He will have lost 10 points from the Force of one Attack or Defence, or his Hits, but will still have the trait ‘Fanged Bite 40’, assuming he didn’t subtract the 10 points from that trait. Gregor is now a 290 pt character. Existing abilities can be improved upon, and even expanded. For example, if a character took ‘Winged Retreat Defense 20’ as their #6 slot, she could buy ‘Wing Slap Attack 10’ as a new ability at any time she has the XP. Before a Battle, roll on the chart below to see where your encounter takes place. 1 Beach Uneven footing gives all Attacks –10 Force 2 Alley Roll 1d10 at the beginning of each turn. Someone stumbles upon you and the battle ends if a 1 is rolled. 3 Warehouse Shelves and crates give all Defenses +10 Force 4 Corporate Boardroom Desks, tables, and chairs prevent All Out attacks, treat as a lost attack 5 Place of Darkness Mystic vibes give all Attacks +10 Force 6 Unholy Site Once per Battle, each Immortal may choose to trade any single Defense roll of 40 or higher to heal up to 20 lost Hits 7 Opera House Smooth stage gives all Defenses –10 Force 8 Rocky Ground All Force scores are at –10 9 Parking Garage Roll 1d10 at the beginning of each turn. Someone stumbles upon you and the battle ends if a 1 is rolled. 0 Nexus to the Shadow Realm All Force scores doubled Shadow Warriors

UNITS & CHITS There are two basic unit types: Warbands & Leaders. Units are represented by cardboard counters called chits. The color of the chit corresponds to the race of the unit. Leader units are marked with an "L".

GREEN MARTIAN WARBANDS The Green martians are tall, 4-armed, fierce, desert nomads. Their 4 arms & great strength make them powerful swordsmen. They are few in number due to dueling & interclan warfare. They are expert marksmen. They are masters of tactics and surprise. Their technology is poor. They use animal mounts and have little use for artillery. They do not fear death.

RED MARTIAN WARBANDS The red martians are technologically advanced. They rely on great hovering battleships. Their vessels are heavily armored & bristling with artillery. Individually they are not impressive fighters without their ships.

WHITE MARTIAN WARBANDS The white martians are a spartan, honor-bound race of warrior-monks. Many of the females are also warriors & do not bear children. Their technology is very poor. Their small arms consist of bows & thrown weapons. They are disciples of the sword. Armor & artillery are not honorable. It is very honorable to die in battle. Their meditation & training have awakened psychic powers in some.

BLUE MARTIAN WARBANDS The blue martians are born psychics & telepaths. They are tall with large, translucent brain cases. They mature slowly & can have few children due to difficult labors. Their technology is extremely poor. Their attacks & defenses are psychic. They use their powers to gain surprise with illusions & invisibility. They travel by levitation & teleportation.

YELLOW MARTIAN WARBANDS The barbaric yellow martians are primitive but industrious tribes. They breed in great numbers. They are eager to fight but will flee at the first sign of trouble. Some gifted shamans have psychic powers. Their hordes are well armed with spears & axes. Their small arms consist of bows & thrown weapons. Their artillery consists of giant catapults. They have some knowledge of gunpowder, steam power, & rocketry. They get around on a variety of animal mounts & war machines.

2222

BLACK MARTIAN WARBANDS The black martians are clawed, egg-laying, subterranean dwellers. Their bodies are covered with a hard exoskeleton. Their technology is relatively high. They have special vehicles that can tunnel through the earth. They use this ability to surprise their opponents. Prisoners are slowly eaten alive.

ATTRIBUTES Warbands have 9 attributes: Speed, Small Arms, Surprise, Hand to Hand, Armor, Artillery, Numbers, Psionics, and Morale. All of these attributes have a numerical value between 0-6+ Notice each type of warband has 24 points worth of Attributes.

2223

Low Initiative Battle Phase

INITIATIVE PHASE Each player rolls 1D10 & adds the number of leaders they control. Reroll ties. The highest total takes his Move & Battle phases first. The next highest takes his phases second & so on. Each player rolls 1D10 for every City they occupy. A roll of 1 recruits a fresh warband of the same race as the city.

MOVEMENT PHASE Roll 1D10 per 10 Units you control rounding up. Add to this the number of leaders you control. The total is your Command Points. Spend one command point to move one of your warbands one space. Any command points left are wasted. They cannot be saved. You may stack 2 or more of your warbands together in the same space. Only one stack per hex. Your warbands cannot enter or pass through spaces occupied by enemy units. Your units cannot enter or pass through impassable terrain spaces. A single warband can move a maximum of 3 spaces in one turn. Leader units can piggyback with one warband unit per turn. Leaders must be attached to a warband. A warband may have more than one leader attached. They can attach to any Warband in a stack. Leaders cannot move on their own.

BATTLE PHASE A Warband may attack an enemy warband in an adjacent hex. Only the warbands on the top of a stack can attack or be attacked. The order in the stack may be rearranged by its owner. Roll D10 on the Random Attribute Determination Table. This attribute is the key factor that determines who wins the battle. The Warband that has the higher score in that attribute wins. The other warband is destroyed. If both have equal scores than both are destroyed. A warband can only attack once per turn. If a attacking warband is destroyed, the next warband in the stack may attack.

SAMPLE COMBAT A Blue warband attacks An adjacent White warband The Attribute roll indicates Hand to Hand. Blue has 1, White has 6. Blue is slain. There is a Yellow warband stacked beneath the Blue. Yellow attacks White. The key attribute is Artillery. Yellow has 2 and White 0. White is destroyed.

LEADERS Each leader has a special ability. Determine the special ability at the beginning of the game. Roll once on the Random Attribute Determination Table. All Warbands stacked with that leader get +5 in that attribute. If two or more leaders are in the same hex, only one may contribute his bonus to the stack that battle phase.

2224

The choice of which leader is in charge is made before the key attribute is randomly determined. If all the warbands in a stack are destroyed then all the leaders are too.

SCENARIO SETUP In a 2 Player Game each player gets: 5 Leaders & 10 Warbands from 3 different races. In a 3 Player Game each player gets: 4 Leaders & 10 Warbands from 2 different races. In a 4 Player Game each player gets: 2 Leaders & 8 Warbands from 2 different races. Players setup up on opposite sides or corners within 3 hexes of the edge of the map.

VICTORY Either occupy several key locations such as settlements or destroy the enemy completely.

VARIANT WARBANDS The Attribute stats listed for the different races describe the basic warband. From 1 to 6 points may be shifted to create variant warbands. For example: Red Commandos: Armor -4, Artillery -2, Surprise +2, Small arms +2, Hand to Hand +2 Yellow Wasp Riders: Speed +2, Numbers -2 Blue Mob: Numbers +2, Surprise -2 Black Warlocks: Psionics +3, Morale +2, Armor -2, Artillery -3 Green Beetle Tanks: Armor +2, Artillery +3, Speed +1, Hand to Hand -4, Small arms -2 The variant type of Warband must be indicated on the chit. Other martian races exist on other continents. When designing scenarios, all units are worth one Recruit Point each.

WH40KARDS

INTRODUCTION Two player Card Game based on the Games Workshop Epic Warhammer 40,000 Universe.

CARDSETS! Card Sets for WH40KARDS by Zak are available here

DISCLAIMER Warhammer is a licenced, trademarked property. This is merely a Fansite.

DECKS Each player uses a separate deck. For example: Imperial Deck vs Ork Deck. Each deck has 1 of each card in its list.

GEAR Dice, paper, pencils, tokens.

VICTORY The first player to have 30 hits worth of his own units destroyed breaks and leaves the field. Or 40 if you have a Command unit deployed. 50 if you have a Leader unit deployed.

2226

If a player loses 3 turns in a row (has all his units in 3 turns destroyed) he breaks and routs.

TURN SEQUENCE Each turn has 10 phases: Logistics Phase Scout Phase Deploy Phase Maneuver Phase Titan Phase Insertion Phase Ranged Combat Phase Close Combat Phase End Phase

LOGISTICS PHASE Each player fills his hand to 6 cards. If the deck runs out, shuffle the Discard & Casualty piles together, and draw from it.

SCOUT PHASE Players may discard up to 2 cards to their Reserve pile and draw replacement cards. A player may discard 3 cards if he has a Command unit deployed.

DEPLOY PHASE Each player must have 3 Unit cards deployed. (Left, Right, and Center) Deployed cards are placed face up on the table. Deployed units may be survivors from previous turns or just now deployed. If you already have 3 or more units deployed you may not deploy more.

MANEUVER PHASE Add up the Move The player with The player with deploy an extra

scores of your 3 the most Skimmer the higher score unit card of any

deployed units. & Jump Jet units gets +2D6 to their Move score. outflanks his opponent and may type from his hand.

TITAN PHASE If you deployed a Titan this turn you must roll on the corresponding systems tables. For example: A Great Gargant gets 4 rolls on the Gargant system table. These are the weapon systems the Titan has until it is destroyed. A Titan can only have 1 of any type of system. Chaos Infantry roll once on the Chaos Gift Table when Deployed. Use scrap paper to keep track of Titan Systems & Gifts.

INSERTION PHASE You may deploy any “Digger” or “Pod” or "Stealth" or "Teleport" units in your hand. For each unit with the “Carry” trait you may deploy an Infantry unit from your hand.

PSYCHIC PHASE 2227

Psychic units get to roll once on the appropriate table to see what Power they can use this turn.

RANGED COMBAT PHASE In order of decreasing range units may attack An attack targets any one deployed enemy unit. Roll XD6. X = the attacking units Attack Rating. Every roll of 1 causes 1 hit on the target. Use tokens placed on the damaged unit to represent hits. Any unit reduced to 0 hits is destroyed. Destroyed units are discarded to the owners casualty pile. Some units have a secondary attack: This is indicated by the notation of: (X/Y) in the Notes column where Range = X and Attack = Y. Some attacks will automatically destroy a target* on a roll of 1-Z on 1D6: This is indicated by the notation of: (Z) in the Attack Column. * = Titans are not automatically destroyed: they take 1D6 hits. Units with the “Split” trait may divide up their attack rolls against 2 targets. Units making Barrage attacks only cannot be attacked except by other Barrage units. All your units get +1 to their Attack score if a Command unit is deployed. All your units get +2 to their Attack score if a Leader unit is deployed.

CLOSE COMBAT PHASE All Close Combat attacks are simultaneous. An attack targets any one deployed enemy unit. Roll XD6. X = the attacking units Close Combat Rating. Every roll of 1 causes 1 hit on the target. Use tokens placed on the damaged unit to represent hits Any unit reduced to 0 hits is destroyed. Destroyed units are discarded to the owners casualty pile. Repeat the Close Combat Phase until one side is wiped out. All your units get +1 to their Close Combat Rating if a Command unit is deployed. All your units get +2 to their Close Combat Rating if a Leader unit is deployed.

SETUP Each player draws 1 Coach card and 10 Kid cards. (Or draw 2 Coaches – second one is the “Assistant” Coach) Put 5 of your kids on the field.

ROUNDS The game is divided into Rounds. Each round is equal to 2 minutes. There are 6 rounds in a period.

WIZARDS & WARLORDS INTRODUCTION Requires D6, D10, a map, and tokens of different colors to represent the troops of different players. The objective is to destroy your opponents Warlord token and capture all of your opponents strongholds.

THE MAP The map is divided into spaces, or territories. Designate which spaces are land and which are water. Designate some land territories to be barren. Designate some spaces to contain strongholds. Choose the identity of each stronghold. (Orc, Elf, Ice, etc.)

TOKENS Tokens represent an abstract combination of military, tactical, and magical strength at your disposal. The identity of a stronghold determines what type of token it produces. For example, a Dwarf stronghold produces dwarf tokens. In battle a dwarf token allows one roll on the dwarf warlord table.

SETUP Players each pick one of the warlords they want to play. Players pick one space on the map that they want to be their Homeland stronghold. Players start with 25 tokens of that warlord. All 25 tokens of that player start the game placed on the homeland space. Roll high on 1D10 to determine player turn order

STACKING A territory cannot at the end of a turn have more than 10 tokens in it. The exception to this is the Homeland spaces which can hold up to 25 tokens. A stack is also called an army. An army may consist of tokens from any number of Warlord tables.

WARLORD BATTLE TABLES The Battle Tables are used during battle phase. To get a result on a Battle Table roll a D10. Some numbers are repeated more than once. In this case, the player can pick which result he wants.

STATS Rolls on battle tables will contribute to the totals of seven stats: Numbers, Movement, Melee, Ranged, Armor, Tactics, and Morale.

2255

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 3 phases: 1. Production Phase 2. Movement Phase 3. Battle Phase

PRODUCTION PHASE A players starting homeland stronghold generates 2 tokens per turn. These are called homeland tokens. Other strongholds controlled by the player generate 1 token. The other stonghold's tokens will use other battle tables. A player can only recruit from a hold that has the same, or a neutral alignment battle table. A player must have a homeland token on a hold to recruit from it. Example- The Dwarf Warlord has a dwarf token on an Elf hold and so may recruit 1 Elf token per turn as long as the Dwarf token remains on the elf stronghold.

MOVEMENT PHASE A token can move one space per turn. Tokens cannot move into water territories.

BATTLE PHASE A stack may either move one space or attack an adjacent enemy stack. Stacks may combine their attacks. A stack may only attack once per turn. A stack may be attacked more than once per turn. During battle each side rolls a number of Battle rolls equal to the number of tokens they have in the battle up to 5 tokens. For example: Player A has 2 Dwarf tokens and 2 Elf tokens. He rolls twice on the Dwarf Warlord Table and Twice on the Elf Warlord Table. Players take turns making battle rolls, one at a time, the Attacker starting first. Add up the stat totals for each side. The winner for each stat inflicts one casualty. Tied stats result in no casualties. Example- Greyden wins in 5 stats and so his opponent loses 5 tokens. His opponent won in two stats so Greyden loses 2 tokens. Repeat this procedure until one side is destroyed or the attacker decides to stop attacking. Each repetition is called a round.

EXTRA BATTLE ROLLS If both sides have more than 5 tokens, the side with more tokens gets an extra battle roll. Defenders of a Homeland stronghold get an extra battle roll.

STRONGHOLDS Defenders in a stronghold automatically get a stat bonus of Armor = 5 & Range = 1 every round unless the stronghold was breached.

LAST MAN STANDING RULE 2256

There will always be at least one surviving token at the end of a round. If the casualties result in both sides being wiped out, then the side that won more stats will keep 1 survivor. If the stats are tied than roll high to determine the winner.

FREE ADVANCE If the attackers destroy all the defenders, then some or all of the attackers may move into the defenders territory.

TERMINOLOGY Breach Stronghold- Stronghold bonuses are negated. End Battle- Resolve casualties now. No further rounds of battle between these stacks. Regenerate- Negate one casualty. Living- Any tokens that are not Constructs, Elemental, Undead, or Illusions. Humanoids- Orcs, Kobolds, Lizard Men, Goblins, Hobgoblins. Demihumans- Dwarves, Elves, Halflings, Gnomes. Monsters- Giants, Elementals, Dragons.

WIZARDS GAME INTRODUCTION Card game between rival Wizards.

VICTORY The first player to accumulate 25+ Fate points is the winner.

THE DECK Players share a common deck.

TOKENS & POINTS There are three types of points players must keep tract of: Lore Points: Used for Bidding to acquire cards. Heka Points: Used to play Spell cards. Fate Points: Used to determine the winner at the end of the game. Points are represented by tokens (Counters, markers, stones) Use Blue stones for Lore. Use Red stones for Heka. Use Yellow stones for Fate. Individual cards may specify other additional Token types.

SETUP Each player starts with a hand of 7 cards. Place 5 cards face up in the center of the Table. These are the Bid cards.

TURN SEQUENCE Each turn is divided into 4 Phases: Research Phase Mysteries Phase Bid Phase Magic Phase

RESEARCH PHASE Each player generates Lore Tokens. Each player automatically gets 7 Lore Tokens. Certain cards generate additional Tokens.

MYSTERIES PHASE There will be 5 or less cards face up in the center of the Table. These are the Bid cards. If there are fewer cards, draw replacement cards from the deck.

BID PHASE 2268

Using Lore points, players bid on the five Bid cards. A player may bid with some, none, or all of his lore tokens. Lore tokens may be saved from turn to turn. A player may bid on some, none, or all of the Bid cards. If you win a bid, keep the card (it goes to your hand) and discard the tokens you bid. If you lose a bid, you get back the tokens you bid. In a tie, all bidders have their bid returned. At the end of the phase put a time token on all remaining Bid cards. A Bid card with 3+ time tokens is discarded. Maximum hand size is 12 cards. Discard excess cards.

MAGICS PHASE You may play cards from your hand. Cards are played face up one the table near you. Certain cards you have in play will generate Heka or Fate tokens for you. Fate tokens are saved from turn to turn. Heka tokens are lost at the end of this phase if they are not used. Cards that have the trait ‘permanent’ remain in play. Non-permanent cards are discarded at the end of this phase. To play some cards requires a specific amount of Heka to be used up. To play some cards requires the presence of other cards with certain traits. An Interrupt card can be played to negate a Spell card just played.

SCRYING If a Scry card is played in Magics phase, you may look at an Opponents’ hand, or the next 7 cards in the deck.

LIMITATIONS A Wizard can A Wizard can A Wizard can A Wizard can A Wizard can A Wizard can Wizards that

only only only only only only have

have one Wand. have one Knife or Sword. have one Location. have one Familiar. have one Body Type. use one card with the Time trait per turn. used evil cards cannot use good cards.

SET-UP There is one deck and one discard pile. Each player draws 5 cards. If the deck runs out before one side has achieved victory then shuffle the discards and continue play.

TURN SEQUENCE U-boat Convoy U-boat Convoy

Draw Phase Draw Phase Action Phase Action Phase

DRAW PHASES The indicated player draws 2 cards. The player discards down to 5 cards.

U-BOAT ACTION PHASE The player may play one card. A Dive card played will cause all cards in play to be discarded. The Dive card is immediately discarded.

2283

To destroy a Transport, the U-boat player must play 3 cards in a row: Periscope- Torpedo- Transport Only one card may be played per turn. A played card is placed face up and remains in play. When all three cards are played in the correct order one Transport is destroyed. All three cards are then discarded. The Wolf pack wins if they destroy 6 Transports. Water- type cards have no use, they just fill the players hand. A Cat and Mouse card can be discarded to cause opponent to discard a random card from his hand.

CONVOY ACTION PHASE The player may play one card. A Destroyer Sweep card played will cause all cards in play to be discarded. The Sweep card is immediately discarded. To destroy a U-boat, the Convoy player must play 3 cards in a row: Sonar- Depth Charges- U-boat Only one card may be played per turn. A played card is placed face up and remains in play. When all three cards are played in the correct order one U-boat is destroyed. All three cards are then discarded. The Wolf pack wins if they destroy 4 U-boats. Water- type cards have no use. A Cat and Mouse card or a Near Miss card can be discarded to cause opponent to discard a random card from his hand.

GAME DESIGNERS NOTES Originally I wanted each player to have one target card in their hand. Attack cards would allow you to draw one random card from your opponents hand. If you picked the target card, then you sank an enemy vessel. The target card would then be returned to the players hand. I figured the target cards would get worn so quickly, they would stand out. Otherwise it would be a great bluffing game. The final version is good because of the agonizing wait for the right card.

GLOSSARY *Spirits = Immortal (Non-human) beings in the form of energy, not matter. If it suits their purposes they can Materialize into one or more forms.

2287

Most are highly intelligent. Spirit beings have their full powers only in the vacuum of Space. On planets their powers are much diminished. Many have existed for Billions of years. *Namers = Good beings. Beings that are aware of the uniqueness, importance, and interconnectedness of all beings in the universe. This awareness is called Love (not the limited Romantic definition of Love) *Angels = Good Immortal Spirit Beings. *Echthroi = Destroyers, Un-namers, eXtinguishers, Evil spirits, Fallen Angels, Demons, Devils, Wyrms, Dragons, Monsters. They cause War and hate. They accomplish their evil by making beings forget their true names, and so become evil. *Kythe = To go Within. An advanced form of Telepathy, where feelings, memories, sensory Experiences, and understanding, can be shared. Only a few Humans have the potential to do it well. *Farae = Tiny Beings of the smallest scale that live within the Mitochondria of Earth Organisms. The Adult Form is tree-like. Juveniles (Farandolae) are shrimplike & mobile until they take root & deepen. They sing The Cosmic song in harmony with the Stars. *Star Spirit = Spirit being that is the remains of a star that sacrificed itself by going Nova to Destroy all the Echthroi in its System. Their natural materialized form is that of large noble centaurs with Rainbow Wings and celestial voices. *Uriel = Good Planet. Like the Garden of Eden. With Tall Mountains. A refuge for the Star Spirits in their Centaur Form. *Tesser = Moving in the Fifth Dimension by way of a mentally constructed Tesseract Gateway. Instantaneous travel through time and space. Most Spirits can do this to some degree. It is also described as creating a Wrinkle in time and/or space or as a Quantum Leap. *Projection = Nightmarish Evil Alternate Dimensions wished for by the Echthroi. *Dark Planet = Planet totally controlled by Evil. *Shadow Planet = Planet being fought over by Good & Evil. *Cherubim = Servant Good Spirits with the material form of a Spherical Mass of Wings, Eyes, and Flames. *Unicorn = Wild Good Spirits with material forms of Winged Unicorns.

UNITS Use chits or miniatures to represent units. There are 13 distinct unit types.

UNIT ATTRIBUTES Each unit has 3 Attributes or Traits: *Move: the number of spaces the unit can move per turn. *Range: the maximum number of spaces distant the unit can apply damage. *Defense: the amount of damage the unit can take at one time before having to retreat. Some units have additional special abilities. There are 5 Classes of units: Infantry (I), Armor (T), Artillery (L), Air (A), and Bases (B).

UNIT MASTER LIST Unit Name General Infantry Paratroopers Engineers Mechanized Infantry Light Tanks Medium Tanks Heavy Tanks Howitzers Anti-Tank Guns Anti-Aircraft Guns Air Field Fortification Headquarters

UNIT SPECIAL ABILITIES AA Guns: The AA gun and all adjacent units are immune to attacks by Airfields. Engineers: Do 2 Damage (not 1) to Fortifications & HQ. AT Guns: Do 2 Damage (not 1) to Tanks. Paratroopers: Have a Move = 4 if they start the turn next to a friendly Airfield.

2301

ARMY CREATION Each player designs an army before play starts. An army is composed of 16 units. One unit is a Headquarters. An Army has only 1 HQ. Up to 5 units can be Tanks. The Army must have at least 7 types of units (not including the HQ) There can be no more than 4 units of a single type.

SETUP Each player places one unit on each square of his back three rows. Units may not stack. Players take turns placing their units. Determine who goes first in a non-random manner.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 2 phases: Move Phase Attack Phase

MOVE PHASE You can move some, none, or all of your units in move phase. Units can move orthogonally or diagonally. Units can move up to a number of spaces equal to their Move Trait. Airfields can only move to a space adjacent to a friendly unit, and Not adjacent to an enemy unit.

FIRE PHASE Each of your units can attack one target enemy unit in Fire Phase. Different units may attack different targets. Each unit has a Range Trait (number of spaces out it can attack into) A unit can only attack a target that is within its range. Units with ranges 2+ can attack over other units. An attack does 1 point of damage. As soon as a unit takes damage in a turn equal to its Defense Trait, it must retreat. (Combined Arms: you must concentrate force & combine attacks) A retreating unit must move laterally or back towards its side of the board 1 space. A retreating unit unable to move is destroyed and is removed from the board. Units that retreat off the board are destroyed. A unit cannot move laterally if it will come in contact with an enemy unit. Bases cannot move, so they are destroyed if they must retreat. Airfields cannot move & attack in the same turn.

DOUBLE WHAMMY RULE If you can force a unit to retreat a second time in the same phase, it is automatically destroyed.

OPTIONAL RULES CITY SPACES 2302

Randomly place 4 cities in the 2 rows between the players (Dead man’s Land) If you occupy all the cities you automatically win.

DIFFICULT TERRAIN Cities, Mountains, Bocage Country, etc. Units occupying these spaces have a Defense bonus of +1. Tanks & Mechanized Infantry entering these spaces must stop.

ELITE UNITS Each player may make 2 of his units Elite. Elite units get +1 to Defense & always do 2 Damage instead of 1.

EXPERIENCED UNITS A unit that helps destroy 5 enemy units becomes Elite.

REINFORCEMENTS Every third turn each player gets one additional non-base unit. Reinforcement Units start on a player’s back row.

CAMPAIGN Use a Larger map with bigger armies. Use all the other optional rules.

2303

WARP DUNGEONS This is a modifiable dungeon-crawling game for 2-4 players

Set up Each player has a deck of 60 cards. 1 player is the dungeon master and has a DM deck, while the others are heroes and have a Hero Deck, along with the appropriate hero stat card. There is also a 30 card Dungeon deck. To set up the Dungeon Deck: take the stairway and objective room cards from the deck. Place the stairway face up in the playing area, this is the entrance to the dungeon and all the heroes place their hero marker on it. If 2 heroes are playing, place a t-junction connected to the entrance. If 3 heroes are playing, place an intersection next to the entrance. Put the objective room to one side, then shuffle the remaining dungeon cards and deal 9 cards onto the objective room. Shuffle this smaller pile, then shuffle the remainder and place them directly onto the small pile with the objective room. This ensures that the objective room is not found until well into the game. The dungeon Deck is ready for play. Deck construction will be dealt with later. Decks, once the run out, are reshuffled and reused The DM must specify what faction their deck is before play, as there are cards that depend on a faction. Markers for the heroes and a number of counters will also be needed.

Play Each player draws a hand of 7 cards, and then the hero players determine who goes first and the order of play. The player whose turn it is is called the active player. Play is broken down into 4 phases in each player’s turn: Exploration, Move, Resolution and Refresh

Exploration The active player may draw 1 Dungeon card and place it next to the card they are currently on, only if there is a viable opening as listed on the card. In the event of drawing a T-junction, intersection, or a multi exit room card, the dungeon deck remaining on that particular path is dealt into the respective number of piles, dealing from the bottom of the deck (eg: after a few rooms a player encounters a t-junction. The DM then deals out the remaining Dungeon Deck into 2 piles, placing them next to either path of the junction). Any exploration along one of these paths must be drawn from the respective deck. Once this reduced deck is exhausted, then no further exploration can be carried out along that path. A player can only reveal one dungeon card in this phase. A dungeon path cannot go over another path. Dungeon cards are either Rooms or Passages.

2304

Move The active player may move their hero 1 dungeon card along a path, unless an ability allows them to do otherwise.

Resolution If the dungeon card a player ends their move on is a Room, then they can attempt to resolve the room. They may take 1 treasure card from their hand and place it face down in front of them. The DM has the option of playing a Monster Card to try and stop them. If no monster is played, then the active player may apply the effects of the treasure card, and place it next to their hero stat card. If a monster is played, then a battle ensues.

Battle Both the DM and the active player may place1 attack card face down in front of them. Attack cards are work as such: each one has a value of 1, 2 or 3 and one of five symbols; a sword (battle), a flame (magic), an arrow (Agility), an axe (strength) or a shield (courage). Some heroes, cards or events give bonuses to particular symbol cards in battle, i.e.: a treasure card attached to a hero may add +1 to the value of all sword cards played. The side with the highest total wins the battle and the other side suffers a wound. The symbols add another factor to battles. Each symbol is dominant over two other symbols: Battle beats Strength and Magic Magic beats Courage and Strength Agility beats Battle and Magic Strength beats Agility and Courage Courage beats Battle and Agility If one side’s attack has symbol dominance over the other, then they cause a wound on that side, even if they lost the actual battle. If the score is a draw, then the dominating symbol wins. If the score is a draw and the symbols are the same, then neither side wins, and the battle is over. If the DM’s side wins then the battle is over. If the DM’s side has wounds remaining after the player wins a round of battle, then repeat the procedure until the monster has no wounds left, or the active player calls off the attack. If the active player has no attack cards to play then they MUST call off the attack. If the active player loses, draws or calls off the attack, then their played treasure card is discarded. If they win, then they may attach the treasure card to their hero, who benefits from the card’s effects. Any monster that suffered wounds, but not killed, is restored to full wounds the next time it is fought. A token is placed on the room to show it has been resolved. Once a room is resolved, no more monsters can be played there

2305

Refresh The active player and the DM may draw cards up to their maximum hand allowance (7).

Winning Once the Objective room card is revealed and resolved, the game is over Players then add up their points for treasure, monsters and other sources, the highest score wins. The DM wins by killing all the heroes before the objective room is resolved.

Card Types Attack Cards These have one of the 5 symbols and a value of 1-3. In a Hero or DM deck, there must be 30 attack cards. 15 +1 cards, 3 of each symbol 10 +2 cards, 2 of each symbol and 5 +3 cards, 1 of each symbol.

Hero Cards

Heroic Action These cards allow the active player to use the ability listed on their hero stat card for their heroic ability. A Heroic action may be played at any time and its effects, unless instantaneous, last for the remainder of the turn. (eg: Heroic Ability: DeadlyCauses 1 extra wound in battle)

Secret Door Cards A player can play these cards to do one of two things: Divide the remaining dungeon cards on that path, as listed for junctions in the exploration section, or to avoid the monsters in a room; the monsters remain, the room is unresolved, but the player does not have to fight them and can move on as normal next turn.

Treasure Are played at the beginning of a battle, and are won by a successful battle. There are four types of treasure: Point bonus, attack bonus, experience advancement or healing.

Point Bonus Treasure Winning this treasure will add to your points at the end of the game. They have a value of 1-5

2306

Attack Bonus Treasures These treasures add to the attack score in battle. They only add to certain symbol attack cards. They have a value of +1 or +2. They do not stack, so the hero must use the highest value of attack bonus.

Experience Advancement Winning these cards increases the hero’s level by 1. All heroes start as level 1 characters. The maximum level a hero can be is 3. For each level a hero has, they may play 1 attack card in each round of the battle phase. Healing Treasure These treasures may be attached to a hero as normal. They do not add to points or battle, but may be discarded at any time to heal the listed number of wounds as stated on the card.

DM Cards

Monster Cards These represent the monsters encountered by the heroes. Each card has a listed point value, which is added to the defeating hero’s score, a faction for determining bonuses for events and special rooms, a number of wounds (from 1-3), and their battle bonuses. There are several types of monster card, with a varying number of bonuses. The different sorts of bonuses are as follows: +1 +1, +1 +2 +2, +1 +2, +2 +3 +3, +2, +1 Each bonus on a card corresponds to a different symbol (eg: a card may have +2 Strength, +1 Battle, or be +3 Magic, +2 Agility and +1 Courage) Some monster cards may have special rules

Event Cards These cards effect the bonuses in battles, or cancel other cards and similar

Trap Cards The DM may play Trap cards at any time during the active player’s move phase. The player must discard the listed value of attack cards of the corresponding symbol on the card, or play a heroic action card. (eg: a trap has a listed value of 2 Strength. The active player must discard a total value of 2 in strength cards or play a heroic action card to avoid the trap). If the active player does neither of these, then they suffer the result listed on the trap, the most common of which is to take wounds.

2307

The DM can only play one trap card during a player’s move phase.

Deck Construction The Hero Deck must consist of the standard 30 attack cards, with the remaining 30 cards being any combination of treasure cards, heroic action cards and secret door cards. The DM Deck also must consist of the standard 30 attack cards, as well as 3 +1 monsters, 3 +1/+1 monsters, 3 +2 monsters, 2 +2/+1 monsters, 2 +2/+2 monsters, 2 +3 monsters, and 1 +3/+2/+1 monster.

XANTH QUEST

INTRODUCTION Board and Card game for 2+ players. Based on the Xanth series by Piers Anthony. If you are unfamiliar with the series, check out the links first. It is light hearted fantasy filled with lots of Magic, puns, clichés, titillation, Mysteries, moral dilemmas, likeable characters, and just good romping fun.

DISCLAIMER Xanth is a copyrighted property. This is merely a fan site.

2326

VICTORY Be the first player to get your pawn to the end space and then back to the Starting space. (It’s a race game) This represents a quest involving a trek across the dangerous wilderness of Xanth.

PAWNS Each player has a pawn of a unique color. The Pawn represents the players main Character and any Companions.

THE BOARD The Board is a Track 63 spaces long. The first space is the Starting space. The last space is the End space. Space # 32 is the Gap Chasm. Each space must be big enough to contain one face-up card

DICE Six and Ten sided dice are needed.

CHARACTER Each player starts with one Main Character of their choice. This can be any adventuring character from any of the Books. Every Main Character has a Power Level = 3. An example of a Main Character would be Bink or Trent.

THE DECK Players share a Common Deck. There are 10 card types: C = Companion E = Event D = Delay Challenge L = Lethal Challenge Q = Quest Challenge X = Location A = Aid H = Healing N = Divination M = Move S = Safe

SETUP Players put their pawns on the starting space. The best looking player goes first.

TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. On your turn roll 1D6 and move that many spaces forward. Once you have reached the end space, you turn around and head back.

2327

If you land on an empty space draw one card and reveal it to all players.

CHALLENGE CARDS If you draw a Challenge card, you must resolve it immediately. Roll 1D10 and add the Power of your Character and all Companions. This is the Hero roll. Roll 1D10 and add the Power of the Challenge card. This is the Foe roll. Hero and Foe rolls are called Challenge rolls. If the Hero roll is equal or greater, the Challenge is defeated. If the Foe roll is greater, the Character is defeated. If a Character loses against a Delay Challenge, the Character misses his next turn. If a Character loses against a Lethal Challenge, the Character must discard a Companion. If the player has no Companions, he misses his next turn. If you win a Quest Challenge, move your Pawn forward 1D6 spaces. If you fail a Quest Challenge, move your Pawn backward 1D6 spaces. The player may play Aid cards to raise his Hero roll total. Discard all played Challenge cards and Aid cards.

LOCATIONS If a Location card is drawn, it is placed into the space. The location card stays there for the rest of the game and must Be encountered by whomever lands on it. Some locations are challenges, some are safe, some require you to roll on Special Tables such as the Settlement Table. Note: You must stop upon entering the Gap Chasm Space. You cannot leave the Gap Chasm until you find a Way across.

SETTLEMENT TABLE 1D10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

GAP CHASM TABLE 1D6 1-2 3-4 5-6

Result: Find Way Across: You may move next turn No Way Across: Roll again next turn Gap Dragon: Lethal Challenge of Power = 9

AID CARDS If you draw an Aid card, put it in your hand. Max hand size is 4 cards. Discard excess cards.

COMPANIONS 2328

If you draw a Companion card, put into play face up in front of you. The Companion is “attached” to your Character. It stays in play until you lose a Lethal Challenge, or some other misfortune. You can have a maximum of 3 companions. Discard excess Companions.

MOVE, EVENT, DIVINATION, SAFE, & HEALING If you draw an Event, Move, Divination, or Healing card, it must be resolved immediately. Effects of Events vary. For a Move card, immediately move 1D6 spaces forward. For a Divination card, look at the next 7 cards in the deck. For a Healing card, put a Companion in the discard back into play attached to your Character. For a Safe card, nothing happens. Discard the Move, Safe, Event, Divination, or Healing card after it is resolved.

CONFRONTATIONS If you land on another player’s pawn, there will be a duel. (Do not draw a card, and ignore locations) Resolve the Duel like a Challenge. A tie means nothing happens. The higher total is the winner. The loser must miss his next turn.

GAME DESIGNERS NOTES I read the first 9 books of the series in my teens. I just reread the first book, “A Spell for Chameleon”. This game is based 98% on the material in that book. I recommend the book. Its fun, cute, clever, and thought provoking. Piers Anthony is one of my personal favorites, along with Asimov, Heinlen, and Clarke.

ZEPPELIN BATTLES OF THE GREAT WAR INTRODUCTION The first trial flights of zeppelins were made in 1900. During WWI the Germans used them to bomb London and Paris. World War I began on July 28, 1914 and lasted until November 11, 1918. By the end of the war, the zeppelins were easy targets for the faster, more agile, smaller, and less fragile fighter biplanes. However, what if Orville and Wilbur Wright did not successfully fly their powered airplane in 1903, but instead ten years later. In this alternate history there are no effective combat airplanes. Commitments in military research and industrial production would have instead focused on the zeppelin as a weapon carrier. This microgame provides a tactical simulation of zeppelin warfare as it once might have been.

SETUP This game requires a hexmap, dice, and chits to represent units. Units willvary according to the scenario.

TURN SEQUENCE 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Determine Initiative: Roll High. Initiative loser Moves Initiative winner Moves Roll wind direction and speed seperately for each zep All units fire weapons and deal damage simultaneously Roll for damage caused by fires Patch crews repair damage

ALTITUDE There are 10 steps of Altitude (1-10). Use a ten sided die to record the altitude of your zep. The ground would be considered altitude = 0. A gounded zep is not necissarily destroyed.

ZOMBIE ASSAULT By Jörg Hansen [email protected]

INTRODUCTION A "Zombie Plague" combat dice variant for 1 zombie player and 1-4 human players Subject of the game "They come. And want your brain." Players search the board for equipment which helps them fight their way to the saving car or to barricade in the house. Zombies try to eat the brain of all participants. Material All game components are listed at the bottom. Game setup Each human player chooses a character sheet and distributes 18 Skillpoints among the character traits (movement costs double). He marks the results with chits on the sheet and gets one character pawn in matching colour. The zombie player gets the zombie sheet with common values for all zombies, and 4 zombie pawns for each human character. This is his maximum, which can be raised by some zombie cards and lowered by the death of human characters. The "Car Keys" card is shuffled with 7 other equipment cards and dealt on the search sheet. The remaining equipment cards are shuffled and dealt as well (resulting 3 cards per search box). Characters start at random border, zombies start at opposite border. First human player begins. Game turn Game proceeds clockwise. Character turn: 1) equipment - 2) move - 3) action (one maximum) Zombie turn: 1) appear - 2) move - 3) action (one maximum) Equipment (characters only) All equipment cards of a character may be dropped. Place a numbered chip on the characters space and a corresponding chip next to the board. Dropped items are placed there. A character may take any dropped equipment cards if he's in the same space with such a numbered chip. Adjacent characters may trade their equipment in this phase. Appear (zombies only) Unused zombies (eg. killed in previous rounds) may appear on random starting points. Several zombies starting at the same point may be placed on adjacent spaces. Move Each pawn may orthoganally move a number of spaces up to its "move" trait. Movement may not go through walls and obstacles. Movement through windows cost 2 movement points. Pawns may move through friendly pawns, but the maximum limit is 1 pawn per space after the movement. Action: Search (characters only) Characters may search adjacent search places, if they didn't search the same before. A chip of their colour is placed on the search field and the player draws the top card of the corresponding search sheet. If it's not a "Found nothing" card, the equipment card is placed next to the character sheet, and the zombie player gets 1 zombie card (!).

2348

Action: Hand-to-hand attack Each pawn may attack adjacent pawns. Attack value of zombies and unarmed characters is their "strength" trait. Attack values of Hth weapons is detailed on the equipment cards. Defense value is always the "skill" trait. Characters may combine their Hth attacks by combining their attack values. Zombies may combine their Hth attacks by getting attack value +1 per additional zombie. Action: Ranged attack (characters only) The target of a ranged attack must be in LOS of the attacker. LOS is blocked by walls, barricades and bushes (not furniture). The attack value is detailed on the equipment cards. Defense value is always the "skill" trait. Characters may combine their ranged attacks by combining their attack values. A critical miss means the weapon is out of ammo. The rifle may be used as Hth weapon afterwards. Action: Barricade A character may barricade or open an adjacent door/window by placing an appropriate marker on the opening or taking it from the board. Zombies may crash barriers, if at least 4 zombies are placed on adjacent spaces next to the barrier. Power-nailed barriers need 8 zombies (see equipment cards). Damage Damaged zombies are killed instantly (exc. zombie master, see zombie cards) and go back to the zombie player who may put them back into play on the next "appear" phase. Killing characters may advance on the emptied space. Damage characters track their damage on the character sheet at the "life" trait. If it's reduced to 0, the character is out of play. His equipment cards are dropped (see "equipment" phase). The death of a character reduces the maximum amount of zombies by 4 (eg. the next 4 killed zombies come out of play) Cards Characters may posess an unlimited number of equipment cards, but never more than 2 weapons (drop all other). They may use their equipment at any time during their turn. Some equipment card are limited in their number of use, which is tracked by chips. The zombie player may have an unlimited number of zombie cards, but uses only 1 per turn. End of game There are 3 ways to end the game: 1.) All search spaces are searched by at least one character. All windows and doors of the house are barricaded. All living characters are inside, all zombies outside the house. Victory for the human players! 2.) All search spaces are searched by at least one character. All living characters spend a whole turn without fight next to the car, one of them possesses the car keys. Victory for the human players! 3.) All characters are dead. Victory for the zombies!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Game components The map

2349

The map is a grid of ca. 20x25 spaces. There's a house of ca. 11x11 spaces, divided in 5 rooms and equipped with some windows and doors. Outside there's a car somewhere, maybe a garage as well. Scattered all over the map are some obstacles (bushes and furniture), and 8 search spaces: 1 per room, 3 outside the house. Around the map border are 6 numbered zombie start spaces. Player's stuff Beside the map you need for each human character 1 character pawn, 8 chips and one character sheet in a matching colour. The characters sheet shows the character traits "strength", "skill", "shoot", "move" and "life" and 8 numbered boxes, where player can keep track with chits. The zombie player gets 4 zombie pawns per human character player (+3, one extra marked as zombie master, each one appearing as a result of a zombie card) and a zombie sheet with the values strength=2, skill=2, shoot=0, move=2, life=1. There a 16 zombie cards and 24 equipment cards in play (see below), and a search sheet with 8 boxes according to the 8 search spaces on the map. Furthermore you need some barrier marker, some numbered pairs of chips, some neutral markers and some combat dice. Combat dice Combat dice are ordinary 6-sided dice with two sides called "hits" (5-6) and one side called "klik". All attacks have an attack value that determines how many dice to roll. The attacker rolls and counts his hits. All defenses have an defense value ("skill" in this game) that determines how many dice to roll. The defender rolls and counts his hits. If the attacker gets more hits than the defender, the defender is damaged by the difference. The attacker never suffers any damage. A critical miss is rolled if the attacker rolls at least one hit and more "kliks" than hits (only used for ranged attacks in this game).

Human players in a 2/3player game are advised to play more than one character simultanously. The scenario (including the grand idea of the barricades) and the map design is inspired by /partially taken from "Zompie Plague" by Brian S. Roe & Scott Kilander (check it out: www.fortressfigures.com/zombieplague/) - hope, no one worries about it, since both games are for fun & for free. The character traits are an simplified example of the combat dice rpg. The character portraits are done with the help of Jeff Heberts awesome Hero Machine (www.heromachine.com). The ideas of the zombies cards are inspired by the stunning artwork of Twilight Creation's boardgame "Zombie!!!", which we used for our copy of the game.

ZOMULGUSTAR GALAX INTRODUCTION Careful analysis of Galax by a concerned galactic citizen. Try mixing and matching these and see what works for you... share and enjoy! Proposed Change 1- Target Tracking Instead of declaring targets by hex, declare the ship you are firing on and the range you expect it to be at. Theme RationaleIt's easy for tracking software to determine the apparent direction to a target, but more difficult for it to determine distance and speed (how much to lead). Game RationaleDrastically increases effectiveness of weaponry, also gives incentive for tactical positioning (if I go here, I can almost certainly hit that ship, but that's where he'll EXPECT me to be, so...) This also gets rid of the unusual idea that although we can't predict which hex the ship will end up in, we CAN precisely target individual ships in it. Theme ProblemWhy can't two+ friendlies exchange information to determine the range by triangulation? See idea 3 below. Game ProblemIt's now possible for guaranteed hits on move-1 ships...do we need a fix for that? Perhaps so...if so, then... Proposed Change 2a- Advanced Maneuvers Allow one sideslip (spend one move for the eqivalent of R1L or L1R) per turn. Game RationaleThis eliminates the auto-hit on move-1 ships, and still slightly benefits faster ones. ExtensionsAllow the purchase of additional maneuver drives (most likely at the cost of weapons/ shield spaces as well as 'money'), each one of which allows one sideslip per turn. Obviously the first one isn't free if this is used (too nice to the big ships...) Proposed Change 2b. "She kinna take much more..." Giving up the use of all shields or all weapons allows an additional MP, giving up both gives +2 (3?)MP. Theme Rationale: In desperate situations, power can be diverted to the engines from other systems. Game Rationale: Gives players the opportunity to 'surprise' their opponents, and a good alternative to 2a (though there is little reason they could not be used together). Proposed Change 3: Locked On Target For the cost of a weapon slot, a Targeting

2352

Computer is installed. Each targeting computer may select only a single enemy ship. When determining hits from a weapon, add up the number of targeting computers on OTHER ships which have selected the target, and allow shots this many hexes off by THIS ship to still hit the enemy. Game Rationale: Can work with either hex or range targeting, adds another layer of strategy to ship design. Theme Rationale: Makes sense, fun to watch everyone go after the low-manueverability escort with 2 targeting computers that's letting the battleship hit with everything. Game 'Problem' (not that bad)- Fighters are no more maneuverable than capships, only faster. Cruisers can 'turn on dimes'. Proposed Change 4- Overloaded Hulls In exchange For an additional weapon/shield slot, a ship may not make more than 1 consecutive turn within a single move order. Game Rationale: That extra weapon benefits the escort a lot more than the battleship (which would only be affected if the 'emergency manuever' rule is in effect) Proposed Change 5- Warp Dissipator A new weapon is available, single slot, cost 1(?), penetrates all shields. If it hits, reduces the targets MP for the next turn by 1. Game Rationale: Just as missiles seem meant to use against big capships (at least in the original), this is the one meant to slow down the little guys enough that they can be taken down easily. Probably best to use either the Targeting Computeer OR this rather than both (at least on a single side) Hmm.... Theme Rationale"....*phtthfft* the aliens **KThrt**eem to have *hisss*oped some kind of energydraining weap*ctjghartkik*..." One side gets target-comps, the other gets dissipators...hmmm...need to fiddle with the costs, but.. Proposed Change 5- The Big Guns. No specifics without playtesting, but I think the game would be that much neater if there were directional-only weaponry. Presumably it would take up multiple slots and cost, and could only be fired directly forward after movement. Enhancements could include, in various mixes a. BIG damage/extended range b. hit all targets on this line c. shield piercing d. etc. etc.

ZULU SPEARS SOLO by Markus Salo at [email protected]

INTRODUCTION Solo variant of Zulu Card game. Simulates a battle between Zulu & British Troops. To be played on British side. The Zulu side variant is under construction.

CARDS Player will have to make their own sets of cards. The British and Zulu have their own unique decks. The British also need a d10 (d20) as a troop calculator. On the Deck lists, # = number of that card in the deck. Both decks have 52 cards. Notice that most cards have a force value.

SET UP Shuffle both decks. The British player draws 5 cards. The British start with 100 (200) troops. The number of Zulu warriors is not recorded.

TURN SEQUENCE Draw Phase Fortifications Phase Ranged Attack Phase Discard Phase Zulu Attack Phase

DRAW PHASE The player will draw cards to fill his hand to 5 cards.

FORTIFICATIONS PHASE The British player may lay out any cards described as standing defenses. These are not discarded. They are placed face up in front of the player.

ZULU ATTACK FACE Roll 1d6 to determine how many cards the Zulus use in an attack. Then draw the cards from the Zulu deck and place them face down on the table.

RANGED ATTACK PHASE The British player may next play Cannonball cards. The Cannonball card is discarded and so is one randomly picked card from the Zulu attack cards.

2357

UNLIKE IN THE ORIGINAL ZULU THERE IS NO DISCARD PHASE ZULU ATTACK PHASE Turn the Zulu attack cards face up. If there is a Sniper card, discard one random british card and discard the sniper card to discard pile. Add up the force value of rest of Zulu attack cards and multiply by 2 if a War Chant card is used. This number is the Total Zulu Force Value. All cards used in the Attack are discarded. The Player may defend with cards he has in his hand. The Ammo Shortage cards are nuissance cards that can not be used or discarded. The Standing defence cards are placed face up in front of the player and will not be discarded during the play. Add up the force value of all of cards played and multiply by 2 if a Rally card is used. This number is the Total British Force Value. All cards except the standing defence cards used in the Defense are discarded. Subtract the Total British Force Value from the Total Zulu Force Value. If the result is positive, this is the number of British troops killed.

ZULU VICTORY If all 100 (200) of the British troops are killed than the Zulu win.

BRITISH VICTORY If the Zulu player goes to draw a card and there are no cards left in his deck and the British player still has troops remaining, than the Zulu give up and go home, and the British win.
